rear fascia removal

[Travis Graham <tgraham@xxxx>]

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!)
