Front Bumper Cover Removal

Well, I am removing the front bumper cover from a 89 camaro and got everything out except for two bolts on the left and right. On the left and right it has three bolts holding it to the fender, then 2 more above those. I can not seem to get to the absolute top bolt on either side. It is right in front of the horns and holds the headlights in. Is there any special way of getting to it? Thanks

Re: Front Bumper Cover Removal

or try getting it from the engine bay. theres a hole on each side that you should be able to reach in and get them.

Re: Front Bumper Cover Removal

I finally got around to working on it. I actually ended up just getting it from the engine bay, just had to make lots of small turns. Thanks for the help
