what are the steps to remove the rear quarter panel light body fillers and both the license plate plastic and the rear center bumper plastic filler from a 1980's to 92 RWD Fleetwood Brougham? Any step by step instructions with visual pics online. Thanks

unplug the tailight harness from underneath, take the bumper off(you'll see the all the bolts from underneath and may break the ones on the ends), the bumper tailight assembly will come off as one. From there, you will be able to see how to get the fillers off, the one on the bumper is a pain because you have to take off the big metal insert in the back of the bumper. The license plate holder is pretty easy too, I believe the bolts are behind the plate

Is there another way to remove these body fillers without removing the bumper?

A sledge hammer?

you cant get to the one on the bumper without removing it, the fillers behind the tailight....I believe you can get to them without removing the bumper, remove the tailights and you should be able to get them out. But a sledge hammer works great too
