How do you take off the bumper?

How do you get access to the nuts on either side? There are three of them, but i have no idea how to get my hand/ratchet into there to take them off... or am i just being a dolt and forgetting something? thanks.

I think it's always a pain.

Make sure you've 'unbuttoned'/un-bolted enough of the inner fender-well cover, so you can get a good view of the 3 nuts, then either cram your arm in there and use your magical sense of touch to locate the nut, OR connect a bunch of extensions together and make like a 2 foot pole with a 10mm socket on the end, lol. Either way it's a hassle.

There are several other nuts/bolts. I think there are a couple around/in front of the headlight, so you should pop the headlights when removing the bumper, so visiblility is better.

yeah... found out what my problem was... one of the nuts was rusted on... and now i am trying to find a saw or something to cut it off/out. :p
thanks for all the help, i didn't even think about taking off the plastic shrouding/surround stuff haha that makes it alot easier

edit: also "remove" works better than "take off" since i guess the search thing dosn't like the smaller works
