Problems with Removing the Front Bumper??

Having problems removing the front bumper. The four screws well they look like clips on-top of the grill wont come off? I try twisting and turning them, still wont jam out. I also tried using a screw driver to yank it out but afraid to break it. Any help???????

Re: Problems with Removing the Front Bumper??

Re: Problems with Removing the Front Bumper??

on the clip you will see a flat spot on both sides.. take a flat head and slide it underneath and just turn the flat head.. Now you have more clips like that underneath the bumper as well.. there is also a screw on both sides by the bumper close to headlight.. Hope this helps you out

**** it. Use a die grinder and a blow torch. Don't take any guff from your car. Show it who's boss.

...or get goin' about 60 mph hit a tree and the bumper normally just rolls off...no screwdriver necessary...some replacement parts may be needed to reattach the front bumper....

In all seriousness though I just normally use two flathead screwdrivers at the low points on either side of the clip, press the flatheads towards the center of the clip and turn...they normally pop loose!
