Actually I replaced the bumper, but tried to save the reinforcing bar. I took the bolts out where the bumper attaches, and shimmied shaked and wacked the bumper -to no avail. I'm able to line the bumper up, but only attach one of the two screws that attach the reinforcing bar to the bumper. -----Original Message----- From: Jim Adney [mailto:jadney@vwtype3.org] I would start by prying between the reinforcement and the axle beam, to see if you can push that beam forward a bit. If that part is bent, it will be hard to get it back straight again, but it may just be sticky and need to be pushed to move. I think the holes in the bumper brackets, where they bolt to the body, are slotted. You might be able to move the bumper to line up that way. Be careful, though, those bolts are likely to be rusted in place and they may just break instead of loosening. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
