Stephen: Just crawl under the front of the car. You'll be able to see the bumper shock "tube" (from memory, I seem to remember it was around 3" to 4" diameter), and just drill a small (3/32") hole. You can put it anywhere you can reach easily. I did it in the middle of the exposed area. You'll hear the gas escape (kind of a "whoosh" sound) as the drill goes through. Wasn't any problem to then use a rubber mallet to push the front bumper in. I decided to leave the back the way it is (it's more likely I'll need the protection back there than in the front).

Gentlemen:
I've read information on the procedure for "collapse" the front bumper shock struts but am at a loss as to exactly location to drill. Anyone help?
Question two - while the fuse blocks are it good shape the plastic covers are broken (the end "ear" on each one". Ideas as to the location of replacements?
As always, thanks in advance.
Steve Schroeder
