Cannot get rear bumper off
2011 E350 sport. Removed bolt and push pins in wheel well. Pulled back liner and removed upper bolt. In trunk removed trim piece and two bolts needing extended socket. Underneath removed torx screws and two center bolts.

The thing isnt budging. I read about sliding back like it is on rails but I don’t get it.

Got it off. There are 6 of those bolts that you need an extended deep socket in the trunk.
The sides pull straight out with some force.
