Today I decided to clear my light for my car (96) and I'm heated as hell because I spent 2 hours taking out all the screw that I had to take out to take off my front bumper only to get stuck on the 4 plastic screws that connect the bumper to the header bar. I've tried everything that I can and they just ain't moving. If anyone know the solution to this please let me know https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif ( the tutorial didn't help me with part)

There are two ways you can do it:

Take some needlenose pliers, and go under and behind the bar, so you can squeze them out(Squese in and push up)

Now, the way I did it was pretty much along the lines of, "Why the hell are all these assbackwards too many hard to reach bolts and plugs and crap here!? *RRRRIP*"

IMHO, there are way too many bolts and crap holding that thing on in goofy-ass places. So I cut the header bar brackets that bolt up behind the headlights and in front of the radiator. I left enough for it to bolt to the headlight housings, and things are just as sturdy. I also have no idea what I did w/ thoe damn white plastic screws that are under the headlights. I also don't care.

The only purpose all these crazyass bolts serve is as a theft deterant. There's NO WAY soneone's stealing your bumper w/ all these bolts in place. But be sure to expect LOTS of vandalism due to frustration.

I just ended up ripping the bumper off too. Much easier... plus it releases all the frustration you built up trying to find each and every bolt. https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif
