As we all know, I backed my Baby into a Poll and gave the bumper a nice indentation..

How do I remove the back bumper to take it off and try and pry out the indentation ( Was hoping a Heat gun from behind and a plunger might be of some help?)

Since this Pic the spoiler has been removed and the Holes plugged but I cannot afford to replace the Boot yet..

He is referencing the Mitsubishi Workshop Manual.

Someone on here has it hosted for download.

Edit: Here it is. (http://www.aussiemagna.com/forums/showthread.php?t=56815&highlight=workshop+manual)

If it's like a TJ, there's about a dozen bolts that you can access after removing the covers in the boot, plus there's 1 or 2 in each rear wheel well and a couple above the muffler.
I can't remember if there's any under the car on the left hand side similar to the ones above the muffler.

While you're at it, remove the back lights (2 bolts each I think) as it's a lot easier (and a bit safer) to put the bar back on with the lights out.

I spoke to a panel beater about this just recently and he said that for him it would be about 2 hours for remove + replace time, so be prepared with enough time up your sleeve.
Cheers!
Oggy.

I took mine off to do the same thing and took around 3 hours for my first go, that was with the attempted panel beating.

Fun part is all the slef screws that attach the bumper to the boot.
