Replacing front proximity sensors

One of my front sensors has started to breakdown, causing the warning sound to trigger inside the car for no reason.

I have a replacement unit, but have not tackled this job before. In the hope that you can save me some time, does any one know if you have to remove the whole front bumper to gain access, or is there and easier way?

Apologies if this has been covered before, but I could not find it.

Thanks
Adam..

If its an outer one, you could probably jack it up, take the wheel arch liner out and replace.

Personally its just easier to remove the bumper without having to jack it up

I recently replaced the front drivers side corner one, only needed to remove a few of the screws under neath and in the wheel arch to get enough access to replace it.

Thank you both. I think my duff one is the inner one, next to the number plate. I will have to have a look at the job and report back.
