Note. The work is shown on a VAZ 2112 hatchback car. On a VAZ 2110 car with a sedan body, the bumper has the same attachment points. The bumper of a VAZ 2111 car with a station wagon body is fixed at the top with four self-tapping screws (in the opening of the tailgate), and it does not have license plate lights installed.
An assistant is required to complete the work.
Removing
1. Using a 10 mm socket wrench with a deep head, unscrew the two nuts of the lower bumper mount (one nut on each side of the car).
2. With the same key, we unscrew the two bolts, (one on each side) attaching the bumper to the top. The bolts are located next to the rear lights.
Warning. When performing the following work, do not move the bumper far from the body, so as not to damage the wiring of the license plate lights.
3. Carefully, trying not to damage the body color, simultaneously move the bumper back from both sides and remove it from the brackets.
4. Remove the rubber plug (3) in the back of the body (1), pull out the wiring harness connector (2). Disconnect connectors.
Installation
We install the rear bumper and all previously removed parts on the car in reverse order.
