Place towels on a flat surface long ways for the bumper to rest

and lay it on top of the towel, this will prevent you from sliding the bumper on the floor making scratch marks -

Tips & Warnings
!Call a buddy to help you push the surface out, sometimes 4 hands are better than 2
!If having problems you can use a rubber mallet as a tool to help u push it out
-Its free so close to original is better than paying over 300bucks for a new bumper
!If you are fixing the bumper for insurance reasons, let a body shop do the repair, insurance fraud is a crime. !Wear gloves when working with hot surface so you wont burn yourself

I backed into a tree (at low speeds) with a 2006 Mazda 3 and it dented the corner of the bumper pretty badly. I didn't even need to take the back bumper off. I just used a hair dryer to warm the plastic up for 4-5 minutes and then pushed the plastic out with my hand. The plastic cracked slightly but it look much better than it did originally. With a little touch up paint (that I got when I bought the car from the dealer) it should look pretty close to new. -
