Auto body repair & detailing: Removing a 97 Escort Bumper(Cover?), frame rail, interior panels

Question
Ernie, I'm hoping you can help. I recently got into a bit of a scrape with an older gentlemen, and I need to replace my front bumper. I'm moderately skilled with general under-the-hood work, but I've no experience with body repairs and such. How do I go about removing the cracked bumper cover? It's the four-door LX sedan model, if that helps any. Thanx!

Answer
You didn`t specify front or rear bumper.If it is the front, raise the front of the car reach behind the bumper and you will see the bolts at the back side of each frame rail.If it is the rear, open the trunk remove the interior panels and you will see the nuts.There is also two under the car .
