I think that "beach" is a misspelling. "Day" may be similarly optimistic. Use the EDIT button to correct.

It's not hard work but it can be a bit tedious. The bumper shell sits pretty close to the opening so access for serious work is limited. I adde a few layers of protective tape to the painted bumper to limit possible damage.

For those playing along at home: If you anticipate ever having the car pulled onto a flatbed, the front tow eye is a much better option than having the driver loop hooks or straps around the suspension and tie rods and rack. In the rear, flatbed drivers have a nasty habit of looping straps around the flat lateral "blade" sections of the lower control arms, bending/destroying them in the process. Fortunately the rear bumper doesn't have a plug in it to interfere with using the tow eye, although you may need to remove the license plate for full access.
