    Need help removing front bumper

    So I've seen a few things online about how to remove the bumper and it seems like they are what I need so I started on mine but I'm at a point that I'm stuck and need help. I removed the four bolts underneath the bumper and the ones in the wheel wells but I'm having a ridiculous time with the 2 torx bolts and those are the last two things holding it on. I've managed to pretty much loosen them but I can't get them to come out completely and fall... any help on what I need to do would be appreciated.

    Will they just not turn or do you get to a spot where the spin freely? There may be a nut on the other side that you can't see. I've never removed the bumper on my car so I'm not too sure what you are dealing with.

    There's no nut. They're going into threaded slots in the "crash bar". So, something is not right, if they're not coming out. Are the bolts just spinning and won't fall, or will they not turn anymore?

    they're spinning freely and won't fall. I'm just damned confused as to why...

    what helped for me was to remove the plastic underbody panel and reach with my hands upwards and wiggle/pull the bolts down.
