Does the wrench included with the Bronco work on the bolts on the modular bumper?

If no one answers in three minutes, I'll be right back. Going to check if mine fit.

You need the *EDIT* TorxPlus TP-40 torx size which is not in the kit. I learned that last week installing my fog lights. Stupid not to include it but I was lucky to find one in another torx set before I was off to the hardware store.

Thank you for mentioning the size! I'll be sure to add that to my toolkit.

Warning! The bumper bolts are Torx TP-40, which is Torx Plus. They’re slightly larger than a standard T-40. I was able to do my bolts with a standard T-40 but it was a risk. I’m looking for the TP-40 driver but they are surprisingly hard to find.

Note that Torx Plus are NOT what some people think - there are also tamper-proof Torx drivers which get sold as the oversize Torx Plus ones.

FYI, as I was struggling with this over the weekend... This is not a T40, it is a TP40. Meaning Torx Plus. It is definitely different and very much a pain in the @ss to find this bit locally. I had to order off Amazon. The T40 will work, but it is definitely loose and you may strip it. I did not want to take the chance.

T = Torx
TT = Torx Tamper-Resist
TP = Torx Plus

"T-40", "TT-40", or "TP-40", will be stamped right on the bit. If you have a 40 and it wiggles around too much it's not a TP.

I tried to explain that to at least 3 guys at three different auto parts stores. None of them had TP bits once I had them show me all the Torx in the stores.

Lowe’s Canada - nope. Home Depot Canada - nope. Canadian Tire - oddly, nope. KMS Tools - nope.

I see them on Amazon.ca now which I couldn’t find before so I’ll be ordering shortly. This thread reminded me to get the TP-40. Thanks!
