rear bumper sensor removal
so im replacing my rear bumper this weekend on my 2013, and the removal of the old bumper seems pretty straightforward, but I cant seem to find a youtube video on how to remove the parking sensors. for anyone who has done this, is it difficult at all? I kind of wanted an idea of how difficult this was going to be before I crawl under there and start breaking stuff . a link to a video would be especially helpful and appreciated. thanks

it's super easy, i just did it this past weekend. once you have the bumper off you will see where there are 2 small plastic clips on each side of the sensor. pull them back and give the base a little wiggle and it will come right out. it's easier to do if you unclip the harness from them first.
fwiw when i went to install the sensors in my torxe bumper they would not fit due to the nubs on the sensors. i had to grind them off in order to make the sensors flush with the outside of the bumper. my bumper came with 2 set screws for each sensor to hold them in place so it didn't matter but it would have been nice to know that from the start.
