How hard is it to get the front bumper off. I got a brush guard only to figure out my jeep has been in accident and that metal piece behind bumper is crushed. Is that hsrd to replace? Any instructions on removal?

Thanks in advance

Without seeing how bad it is , then yes more than likely a frame machine will be needed.
Better to just leave the Brush Guard off anyways, most cause more damage than what they are worth

Yes! I had frame damage there too. Fixed it with a jeep and a tow strap and 4lo. Got in an accident and the brush guard mutiplied the damage! If I hadn't have had it I would have about 1000 in damage. Instead it was 6.3k damage. Granted I still run one but just til I get an ARB.

Correct. It is imperative that the frame is straight. Some things you can fudge, this is not one of em.

That's just a crash bar It's not integral to the frame what so ever (When I put on my current bumper I actually cut that piece entirely out in between the frame spars.), I replaced mine after getting into an accident and having the brush guard mangle the whole front of my jeep.
