Removing front bumper...
so i was trying to remove the bumper.. got the screws in the fender wall and all that but when i was doing the screws up on the top when u pop the hood. there are two of em right where the grille is and i tried undoing them but they wouldn't come out. its like a screw inside of a pushtab or something like that. i was wondering if i was missing something on how to take them off or what. i felt like i was turning forever and it wasn't budging. thanx. btw i was turning left..... lefty loosey..righty tighty.

Rep Power: 0 or if they have a spot where a flathead screwdriver fits in the end, pop that center piece out first. Otherwise, you have to turn with basically no pressure on it, lifting up as the screw comes out. Once you see how to do it, its not a prob. Good luck, just be very gentle.
edit - I was sort of explaining how to take out both different kinds of the clips. It got typed together

Rep Power: 0 either, the screw in the middle has a flathead or phillips ?indention? across it, and you unscrew it lifting as you unscrew it. If you have pressure on it, it wont come out. you can try and try and it wont work. So you just put the screwdriver almost all the way down, than turn so there is no pressure at all on it
The other ones, has 2 lines on the ends of the center screw. Those clips, you put a flathead screwdriver in there and just pop them out. There is no other way. If it absolutely doesnt work, use a dremel, cut em off, and get some new ones. Or however else you can cut or grind them
