yea, there are 2 bolts/screws holding the assembly in place. but once you take those off they are still stuck on there....i mean you get some wiggle room but when you lift it up as far as they go there is still something in there holding it down.

Remove the trim inside the back. No need to remove the rear bumper.

i remember on my 350 that it had some clips that made it a tad more complicated to remove them. does the diagram show any clips???

i was messing around with them right now and now i un-clipped the upper portion of my rear bumper...
