the outer tails on the sedan require you to take the bumper cover off in order to get to the nut on the mount bracket

Bumper Cover is what most refer to as the bumper - basically is the part of the car that is painted..the bumper itself is metal attached to the frame (has a small layer of protection (usually foam) between the bumper and the bumper cover)

it's possible to take the tails off with a ratchet if you have like..a 24 inch extension. but why do that when it's much easier to just take the bumper off?
