How difficult is an OEM front bumper install?

Hey guys, long story short I am swapping out my OEM bumper for a different OEM bumper. How difficult is the un/install? Is this something that can be done with standard tools?

Anyone have any tips or tricks that have been learned by doing it on your own?

Thanks in advance!

not hard,other people will say to remove the wheels..its not necessary, you may want to get in and cut the wheels when working on either side. theres a diy on it, be careful when peeling back your wheel well liner, remove the door to your lights so you dont snap your clips like i did

also, if you have headlight washers, before anything, pull them out by hand and remove the covers.

make sure you keep track of screws and bolts, keep similar's together

goodluck!
