Trouble getting bumper off

I've been trying to take my bumper off and I have found that on these screws below, there are no tops to use a wrench or socket to get them off, they are bare. The only real solution I see is using a hammer unless someone else can think of something. Sorry I couldnt get a very good pic of the top where there isnt anything to screw off.

Those are the studs that were holding it to the body correct?If so then you already took the nuts off.The rubber nose/bumper pulls off of those studs.The steel bumper and the rubber nose will seperate.The steel plate with tose studs is also attached to the hood plate(where the hood latch is)HTH

Try taking a picture further away from the object, it looks like your camera can't focus that close to the bumper.

I just took off a front bumper today on a Camaro, if you can get a clearer picture I can tell you exactly what to do. That is if you haven't done it already
