2017 MX - Bumper removal to add DrawTite Hitch - how difficult?

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
Hi Folks - i ordered the drawtite hitch since i need to support way more tongue weight for a cargo hitch carrier (transport 130lb outboard engine, 4 bikes etc). The 120lb limit of the Bosal was too risky for me.

As such the drawtite comes with great instructions and even someone on YouTube who did a video on install.

I'm a pretty avid DIY and do most things but have never done body / trim work on my Tesla. Every video i found showed how to take a bumper off but couldn't find any on how to get it back on. I hear it can be quite tricky or does it easily clip back on?
 
Hi folks - looking at my wheel wheels and noticed two metal bolts with push on type washers that will need to be removed. Doesn’t look like these will be reusable once removed but I cannot find the exact replacement part number. Any ideas on the size?
