Trying to remove front bumper - trouble
I have removed the torx screws from the wheel wells. Removed headlights. I took out the grills and took out the two hex bolts.
The bumper pulls back and fourth a few inches but will not come off.
I tried pulling back and lifting up and down but the damn thing doesnt want to fall off.
I am assuming that the bumper does not slide forwward when it comes off because there is something catching it from moving forward.
question: how hard to you have to pull it back? what is the main motion to get it off? jiggling it up and down?

try pulling back towards the rear of the car, then push down and pull up
it takes some finesse and jiggling, but you'll get it. do one side at a time, and when you're taking the second side off, make sure the bumper doesn't fall on the ground and get scratched. put something on the ground to catch it or soften the fall. a second set of hands to hold that side of the bumper works too.

This worked for me...
push the bumper back (toward the rear of the car). I then stuck my fingers between the top of the bumper and the bottom of the fender. This allowed me to push down and release the top of the bumper. Then, simply pull up and release the bottom.
Simple no?
