Default How hard is it to...Rear bumper mounts?

I noticed that my rear bumper mounts on my wagon are damaged. I plan to go to the junk yard tomorrow and pull some from a car there. Is it hard to do & is there any special tools I'll need?

That does not show what I need. The #17 part is pointed towards the bracket that I actually need from the doner car. I just don't know how far under the car that part goes and how many bolts hold it on.

Is ur bumper sagging? If it is, cut a 10-13 inch piece of board in length, 4 or more inches in width and wedge between the bumper reinforcement and the bumper itself. That'll make it look good as stock.

The left side is, mainly because the left support bracket is damaged. It's #8 in the pic above. Could not see that with bumper attached. Seen it on a car at the junk yard with the bumper off. So I got 2 of those brackets.
