Question Question on front bumper removal

Hey guys,
I am in the process of removing my front bumper (got curb damage) and can't figure out how to remove the 4 screws (2 on each side) that tie the bumper with the front fender. I believe those are the only ones left...
Is there a way to access them easily? Service manual skips this step and refers to "removing the fender" page where it just says to get those screws out.
Does anybody have a how to with pics? I know the theory behind the process but actual pics are the best
Also, should I remove the front wheels to get the bumper off?

Thank you!!!

Removing the front wheels will make it much easier, then remove the forward inner fenders. The bolts will be in plain sight then.

James is right, removing the front wheels makes it a ton easier. Doing that will allow you to remove two screws from the wheel well lining and gain access to those screws. I find that it is easiest to use the 10 mm socket with an extension. Get the screw nearest the door by going through the wheel well and get the nut closest to the front by removing the turn signal light and passing your ratchet through the opening. Don't forget to unscrew the foglights too, its a lot easier then disconnecting the harness.
