If it is a wagon there are 2 access holes to pull the shock bumper mounts from. By lifting the cargo storage door seek these holes to either side of the frame of the storage area.

I have forgotten what size bolt heads are there, but you need a fairly long 1/2 drive extension. Pass the extension down thru the hole and install the socket that fits.. 7/8" maybe 15/16". This bolt is threaded to a welded nut under the car frame, and you can see these large bolts poking out from below as well.

Once you have out both a few tugs should have the bumper in your hands..

Or finding the shock mount plate to the bumper directly on the bumper could be the answer... It depends on why the bumper sags I guess...

Probably removing these first 2 larger bolts is the fastest way to get the bumper off. A bit of PB Blaster where you can see the bolts from below will help, and the rest of these 2 bolts should be fairly clean.

I suspect the sedans will be similar... Mac
