E55 w211 front bumper removal..
Looking for assistance removing the front bumper off my e55 ('04). My end goal is to remove the bumper to replace both head lights.
After much searching I came across this thread...

I work much better with visuals but some where along step # 5 is where I am lost.
This is what I have managed thus far. Remove all bolts pertaining to the headlights (easy enough). Removed front mesh grill in front of the heat ex-changer and the side mesh near the fog lamps.
I have also removed four push pins. Two near each wheel well (lower) and the two just in-front of the heat ex-changer. Also, the two bolts in-front of the H/E.
The bumper does have a bit of wiggle, but of course something feels like it still holding it in place. If anyone done this with succession please any input or assistance is greatly appreciated. Again, if you have pics that would help as well. I didn't think removing the front bumper would be so complex.
