Bumper Removal
- With reference to Figure 1, unplug the wiring loom shown in PURPLE then remove the three fixings from each side shown in RED, then slide the bumper off rearwards.
- Remove the two fixings each side, shown in CYAN, to remove the internal bumper beam from off the chassis, ensuring the loom and its plastic retainers are unclipped from the arms. Once removed from the vehicle, extract the location pins X. (The bumper beam and its fixings are not refitted with the towbar assembly).

Diagram Description (Figure 1)
Figure 1 illustrates an exploded view of the TFD24H towbar assembly for the Ford Ranger and Volkswagen Amarok. It shows the main components: the TFD24H Crossbar (A), Left Hand Side Arm (B1), Right Hand Side Arm (B2), and Slider Face Plate (A1) with Slider Pins & Clips (A2). The diagram details the attachment points on the vehicle's rear, indicated by 'X' for original location pins. Various fasteners are depicted, including M16 bolts and nyloc nuts (C), M8 bolts and washers (D), M12 bolts and washers (E), M14 bolts and nyloc nuts (F), M14 bolts and washers (G), and different sizes of flat washers (H, J, K). The assembly process involves connecting the side arms (B1, B2) to the vehicle chassis using specific bolts and washers (G, K), attaching the bumper using other bolts and washers (D, H, E, J), and finally securing the crossbar (A) to the side arms with bolts and washers (F, K). The ball bracket is attached to the slider face plate (A1) using bolts (C).
