Default Front Bumper Upper Support Replacement Help

I have a 2008 Honda Accord Ex V6 and need help replacing the upper support. Part#

https://www.parts.com/index.cfm?fuse...-UPPER-SUPPORT

Does anyone know how I do this. I checked the Service Manual and it doesn't show this part replacement?

I think it is fairly easy but not quite sure. Pictures would help please.

Thank You

Thank you for your reply.
Do you know where the bolts are located? Do I need to remove both the bumper and the fender to get to this support?

Pull the bumper cover and you might have to remove the front left head light to get to the upper bolt. Overall yes these jobs are easy, but with good condition cars be careful to not scratch the paint so have a blanket available to lay the bumper cover on. I only say the front left headlight because that is the part in your description.

You have to remove the bumper cover. Go to most any Honda parts dealer site like Handa-accessories and download the fog-light instructions to see how to remove the bumper cover. But, the service manual should show general front bumper cover removal.

In the link from my previous post, you can see the bolt holes were they may be. There are definitely 2 bolts, if not 3 that holds it (one on the left side, one on the bottom; if there is a third bolt holding it, it is on the right side).
