Very good directions for disassembly. Can you add specific instructions for re-assembly?

If you have any suggestions for getting the main part of the bumper back on, that would be helpful. It was very challenging to get that part reattached to the chassis. There is a tab at each end of the main part of the bumper, and it was challenging to get them into their respective slots. It required a lot of pushing and pulling and compressing of the main bumper part, and although the tabs finally went where they were supposed to go, I’m not sure what I did to get them there.
