You don’t need to move the bed at all to remove the bumper. I’m a body technician & no need for that brother 👍🏼

I have a bumper but no impact gun I believe it’s called so it’s hard to take that thing off and all the shops I call are supposedly busy till a couple months

@TheBrothersWorkshop 2 жыл бұрын

You can use a breaker bar to get this job done. Watch the video, I use one several times. You can also purchase an impact drill from your local hardware store. They aren't that expensive.

Thank you, as this was extremely helpful for my bumper replacement.

I'm glad that I could help! Did you get your bumper replaced easily?

@je1279 Жыл бұрын

@The Brothers Workshop After removing the old one, I realized that the used one I purchased had a different bracket (appears to be from a 2500). I attempted to just swap the brackets, but the torx bolts were rusted beyond functional, so new brackets are on order.

@TheBrothersWorkshop Жыл бұрын

Sorry to hear that. There is a difference between the 2500 and 1500 bumpers. Most people don't notice, until you look closely.

Do I nead the key to remove the tire in order to get the tire down ?

@TheBrothersWorkshop 3 жыл бұрын

Cesar, you will need your key to remove the cap that covers the tire release tunnel. I have no idea what the technical term is for that part. That cap is located next to the license plate.

Do you know if it’s possible to replace the plastic piece without removing the whole bumper?

@TheBrothersWorkshop 2 жыл бұрын

Hey Chloe, It was pretty difficult to remove the plastic with the bumper off. I'm not sure if it's impossible, but it definitely won't be easy to remove the plastic with the bumper still on the truck.

No. It cannot be done. Some of the plastic pieces are too far back

How did you remove the rear bumper trim?

@TheBrothersWorkshop 3 жыл бұрын

Noah, there are a lot of screws and plastic clips. You will need to un-screw everything and pop the plastic clips out. Be careful with the clips, they can break easily. If you watch the video you'll see us install the trim. Just reverse what we do during the install. Thanks for watching!

Can you remove the bumper without lifting the bed? If not, how else can I lift the bed without a fork lift?

@TheBrothersWorkshop Жыл бұрын

You can remove the bumper without lifting the bed, but it's rather difficult. There are many ways you can lift the bed up, I just chose the forklift because it was easy for me to do by myself. If you have friends with you they could assist in lifting the bed.

I have a 14 sierra SLT I would never replace the OEM bumper with another one. I'd buy one of those ROUGH COUNTRY bumpers.

@TheBrothersWorkshop Жыл бұрын

Ranch Hand bumpers are cool, but they have downfalls. Most notable is the that they rust quickly. That's a major issue here in the north east, and the reason why we replaced the original bumper with an OEM bumper.

Thanks for watching Nick. A friend had this bumper in storage, and gave it too us just to shoot this video.

Put a 4x4 wood block under the rear or the truck bed. Use a floor jack to pick up the bed with the wood block. Works well and safer than involving a forklift.

@kr5289 Жыл бұрын

take the tailgate off notch out where the brackets are and no need to go through all that trouble lifting the bed and you can't see where you notched it out after the bumper is put on. me and brother did this today.

@stevenc8140 Жыл бұрын

@@kr5289 I thank you for your direction and patience in helping me! In the last two weeks I’ve sustained two collisions. #1 was an A frame sign placed where one wouldn’t expect one. And because the 90 degree angle made it virtually invisible I hit it at 20mph and did $2400 damage. School is liable on that one. Yesterday I parked my truck for about 7 minutes and came out and saw my rear bumper pushed in! So the rear left side has about $1500 damage on it. Hit and run! I’m so lucky

Hey Scott, thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. As you can see towards the end, this project took a toll on Sean. This project really kicked his butt. Taking the plastic off of these bumpers is the hardest part of this whole process. Glad we're not the only ones who thought that.

No, I do not believe so. It's very difficult to remove the plastic because you have to do it from the rear. If you can get your hands in there give it a shot and let us know how it works.

What about taking the bumper only off from the brackets? That is what I would pursue first. Here’s a link. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Zqt-as-fqcjGeoE.html

Found the answer. There are only 4 bolts to remover the bumper and leave the frame rails in place. No need to loosen the box, nothing. Still all the wires etc to disconnect, but that’s life! Not nearly as hard!! Edit, you can do it!” 4 nuts to remove only! No loosening the bed,,,,, kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Zqt-as-fqcjGeoE.html

Unfortunately, that video does not pertain to this vehicle. The video you linked is for a 2020 3500 HD. The video I made is for a 2014 1500. They are two completely different trucks. The way I have explained here is how to remove the bumper on a 2014 to 2018 Chevy Silverado or GMC Sierra.

We're not sure what you mean by beer boy. This is a DIY KZfaq channel. We've never once said we are mechanics. That being said, this is how you remove and install a rear bumper on 2014-18 Silverado/Sierra trucks, by yourself.
