Take the forward inner wheel well liners off. Take the 3 front under engine trays off. Take the 4 top grill screws off. Take the visable screws behind the grill off. Unplug the parking assist cable connection on the drivers side inside the wheel well. You may or may not have to take the front bumper trim that holds the sensors ( start prying from the markers forward; many clips to unsnap) and unplug each one. Unplug the side marker bulbs. There may be 2 screws behind the lower grill if its a 55 or 65. On the right and left sides, inside the wheel well, squeezing the bumper and the front fenders togather, there is a flat metal bracket. Remove one screw at the edge of the brackets and pull that end away and it will swing the bracket off the lip of the bumper and then push it forward and it will come lose from the flange it is hooked to.
Then slide the bumper off forward.

While backing up I pulled the right front bumper off of the fender. Forunatly, no cracks or breaks.
What's the best to reassemble the fender and bumper where the metal "c" bracket. clamps them back together? I tried snapping it over each other, and no luck?

Oddly enough I didn't even scratch the paint. Today I pulled the right front wheel, removed the inside fender lining, and got where I could see what I was doing. Everything just snapped right back together like it was a simple assembly. Bottom line, it looks perfect. No harm no foul. yea!
