So I couldn’t find the bumper on your website. Do you actually sell the bumper and replacement brackets? I managed to dent mine up when backing a trailer

[@holygoatsfarm]

Thank you 1A Auto! Your videos have helped me pull of repairs large and small on our vehicles! Great videos and easy to follow, please keep em coming!

Needed to replace the damaged bumper step pad on my 2016 Silverado. Your vid pretty much spot on with a few exceptions. My truck has the trailer hitch which adds a bit of complexity. Yes, I raised the bed as you described and popped the wiring harness and trailer conn. But I found 5 bolts holding the bumper on. Had to watch your vide 4 times to figure it out. The last bolts are 13mm and sit behind the bumper and tucked up behind the trailer conn and rear tire port. They attach the bumper to the hitch. Also I used a floor jack and 2x2 to raise the bed rear to put a 2x4 block to support the bed. Worked well.

[@thegrottoadventures2302]

Wow, a very strait forward video thanks this helps out alot. But I must ask, what kind of an idiot at GM designed this bumper bracket where the bed bolts have to be removed to pup up the bed?

[@beaulieuRule]

Your method is by far the easiest and well explained, Merci!

[@traildisc155]

Just took off the rear 4 bed bolt two straight men got this job done

[@eduardovillafranco3257]

Is the chrome part just a removable part or is a whole piece all together??

[@daveflicek960]

Is it possible to remove the bumper where it connects to the brackets so you don't have to lift the bed? Thanks

[@newjohndeer]

How many ft. lbs. of torque for the bed bolts?

[@smokeysmith1282]

Great Video, you guys make it look so easy. How long should this project take? It also looks like you reinstalled the original bumper but not the new one. Yes/No. ??? Peace

[@nathan9032]

For anyone that might need it. If your nuts that are welded to the truck break and the bolt that attaches to the truck bed keeps spinning where you have to stick the wood in. Use a 2x4 and a floor jack and put the wood right where the bracket that needs to be lifted and push up until you can slide the bracket out. Or do it this way If you dont want to take the rear fender liner out of the wheel well

[@jeremiahjohnson9908]

I know it's been a minute since you posted this Nathan but did leaving the fender liner in place tear or strain the liner? Mine is an '18 with the felt liner and I would rather not pop all those plastic retainer clips.

[@markdew1331]

Thank you! The wood was an excellent tip. Made the bumper so much easier to put in.

How do you replace just that top Trim(step pad)?

[@mannimarquez5851]

I asked 2 months ago but no reply. Any video on replacing just the corner insert?

[@ManuelGarcia-k6q]

I lost one of the 22 ml socket bolts any ideas where I can get another or what size it is? Thanks

[@mannimarquez5851]

Do you have a video for replacing the corner step insert? Thanks

[@allenl415]

How do you get the spare tire trap door off the old bumper??

[@wakkoss]

There's a silver ring that holds it in place from the back. Leave the outer ring alone, use strong needlenose pliers or a pick to pry the teeth back until you can push the assembly through the front. Usually about halfway around. The replacement ring is about $8, but you could probably bend the tabs back and reuse it.

[@mambrake]

Dude would you know how to remove the plastic part on the rear bumper where you stick the jack tool to put down the spare?? I want to paint the rear bumper but i cant take off that piece.. Im stuck

[@ninjaxman10]

Thank you for this!

[@rverro8478]

It doesn't seem to answer any questions in the comment section ! I'm taking a leap with this one. Can a 2010 Silverado trailer plug-in plate changed ? Mine just collapsed last week. The lock-in hole is totally gone (left of the rear license plate) therefore, the trailer connector is just hanging loose. I don't need to change the whole bumper because it is in an excellent shape.

[@angelmarquez6000]

Thank you very much🙏🏻

[@dougtheeliminator1077]

Do you have a video on how to remove/replace the rear bumper corner steps???

[@wakkoss]

It's easy, there are a few torx screws and a few small (1/4?) screws holding the corners in.

[@philshock3805]

@@wakkoss I need to replace just the corner pad only that your foot steps on. From a part replacement photo, I see there are two bolts that hold it in place. Is it necessary to remove the entire bumper?

Great video man...

I want Know how to install silverado 2014 rear bumper on silverado 2013 .

[@ktm250sx09]

Instead of the ratchet to lose the bolt, I used a 3/8 drive Snap-on battery impact without any placement issues. You can use it for every single bolt.

[@1AAuto]

+Massé David Thank you for your feedback!

[@MaCoop3r]

All 6 of them

[@ktm250sx09]

@@MaCoop3r yes all of them with a deep socket and the 22mm head one you'll need a 3 inch extension.

[@juanhinojosa9784]

do you guys sell rear bump stops for 08 silverado?

[@Nightowl82]

so total of 6 bolts need to come out?

[@michaelmunter8074]

What if you have a fifth wheel hitch mounted in your bed?

[@Texas_Takeover]

Hmm, after further research, I've determined the dent on my bumper is actually not that bad anymore 😂😂😂 This looks more complicated than I imagined.

[@zacharyharriz1374]

Forreal 😡

[@blackseptemba]

Same here

[@PoisonShot20]

Yup! My is almost new, but I backed in some rock, and damaged the right side corner steps. I thought that remove the whole bumper was NBD. Watching this changed my mind. Actually I like the way it looks, kind of different than other trucks!🤣🤣

[@gorrozolla]

Why are these bumpers not available on your site? Shouldn't you add a link to the part you are replacing on the video as well?

[@carrillosinglecab2027]

Do I have to remove the hitch completely

[@wakkoss]

No. I did, not realizing this, and it was heavy as hell.

[@mattkaminski1900]

No

[@peteperkins3859]

Why not leave the brackets and just unbolt the bumper?

[@josephliptak]

A lot of rust on that truck's frame for not being that old.

[@wakkoss]

GMs are notorious for it. They use this garbage "wax" on the frame that doesn't stay well and allows the salt to destroy the undercarriage. Why GM still uses this abomination is beyond me. Also, the frames are made in Mexico and shipped here, so they're exposed to the elements for who-knows-how-long.

Man ive done tons of these and i swear ive never used a 22 just a 21

[@carrillosinglecab2027]

My fault just answered my own question at minute 2:00

[@juanmarjona8775]

Because I had one of the truck

[@keithhe100]

So I need a new rear bumper for my 2018 Silverado. I watch the video and call to order bumper. Told you don’t carry it. Why are you doing videos for products you don’t even carry? Did you see title of your video?

[@keithhe100]

Isn’t 2018 within range of the title of video??

[@1AAuto]

+keithhe100 We have many videos for items we don't carry to show how to do the repair!

[@juanmarjona8775]

That truck is a 6 or 8 cylinders

[@bfahrlander]

what about the truck with 180000 miles on it cause i guarantee that truck doesn't have half that.

[@cmscms123456]

can you remove the bumper from the brackets, without removing the brackets from the frame, and having to lift the entire bed up? What a-hole at Chevy designed this...?

[@PoisonShot20]

I think not. Brackets may be part of the bumper, or bolts are not teachable. Like Legos, have you play Legos before? Try take or place a missing peace in the middle of the set. Or take it a part. Lol! But I agree with you, why the need of lifted the bed? No sense!
