I went to the junkyard to remove a euro front bumper, but couldn't get it off! Help, I feel like an idiot! Here's as far as I got:

unscrew 2 sheet metal screws that retain horns to bumper brackets

unscrew 4 bolts that retain brackets to chassis

I haven't unscrewed the 2 bolts that hold the bumper ends to the sides of the fascia, yet (an internal thread stripped). But I can see a problem with the 4 studs (the ones I took the nuts off of). They seem to be sprung or clipped to the inside of the chassis tube! I can't slide the bumper with brackets out, until these studs get out of the way. Help, I want this bumper! Josh
