Rear Reinforcement
How hard is it to replace the rear impact bar?
Can I do this in my driveway in just a few hours or is a better job left to the professionals?

Remove the back interior panel,then both taillights and then the bumper cover.
At that point you have to remove 4 bolts per side of the bar from underneath and off it comes.They are pretty time consuming with hand tools as they are long.Air tools would make it a snap.Pending any rust it's cake.If the bolts are rusted..it will take little longer.It can easily be done in your driveway.I just did mine this summer as well.I didn't wanna deal with those bolts again so I picked up some Grade 8's and nut and bolted it back on.
