Exclamation Need help taking off bumper

I'm at a loss here. I cannot take off the front bumper of my 88 GTU. There's a screw that goes from the bumper into the fender, and you can't take off the fender unless you take off the bumper. I'm frustrated, can anyone give me some step by step directions?

There are 3 bolts each side behind the bumper around the front fender area, there is bolts under the hood around the reservoir area, and dont forget your under tray. Also dont forget to unplug your turn signals.

I've gotten the bolts in front of the reservoir and under the tray. I dont see the bolts near the fender though. Can I get a picture?

pull the fender liner, get a flash light, you will see them. (3)10mm bolt, be careful or you'll snap them.

You will need a 1 foot extension on your socket though to get them. They are hard to reach.

And just to clarify, you do not need to remove your fender in order to get your bumper off. (just do like what's above, remove the fender liner and use an extension)
