This bar?

If it's this bar, you can have someone pull slightly away from the vehicle while you loosen the bolts. And hit the bolts again with PB or WD ;)

(This is what worked for me) :thumbsup:

Same problem

I am having the same problem, bolts are just spinning. Tried pulling on the bumper while loosening as Donner suggessted, but they are still just spinning. Any other suggestions? I need to take all 4 out, if there are any suggesstions for problems that may arise with inner or outer bolts they would be greatly appreciated.
 


















I'm looking for an answer to this question too! BUMP!
