front bumper help

[dharding413]

while removing my bumper to blackhouse my headlights, I've encountered a problem with the two plastic clips in the middle under the bumper. all the other clips and screws came out fine, but these two just won't come out.... any suggestions?

take a plier and put some muscle into it

Could you be a little more specific as to what two clips, the ones at the top under the hood? Just take two flat screw drivers and pull the center up. If all else fails break them and buy two more.

Or break them then zip tie 'em

pliers= no success and a broken clip
it's a 2000 coupe if that makes any difference...

 

[dharding413]

screw it, I'm just gonna break them both and hope they come out haha

 

[dharding413]

success!!!
if u press the middle part back into the outer ring and then pry again the whole thing comes out clean
thanks for the help guys!
now onto the blackhousing...
