rear fascia removal



Hello,

I have discovered the source of my oil leak: one of the two M7 bolts which holds the "cover plate" onto the left cylinder head (and also supports the compressor belt pulley adjuster) has broken off! I'm pretty sure that the only way to properly get to the broken bolt is to remove the rear fascia. bumper, etc.

Now for my question: can I "easily" remove this entire piece? The shop manual states that I must remove the fascia from the rear fiberglass piece, then remove the bumper, etc...but, of course, the shop manual also says to remove the chassis from the frame in order to replace the clutch line! Therefore, I don't trust the manual. So, from those who have been there and done that, what does it REALLY take to remove the rear fascia (and everything that it's attached to) in order to get to the back of the engine?

Many thanks for your help and I'll see you in Memphis! (If the other bolt doesn't break!)
