I believe it’s a bumper-off affair..

It can be done but bumper off is a better way to do it as you risk deforming the bumper if you get one of those "it's nearly off moments" this will give you an idea.

Be aware getting the bumper back on right is no mean feat also and really needs 2 people unless you want bare knuckles and the air to turn blue.
