Front end removal

Hello All, I'm stuck. I'm trying to remove the front end of my Z/28. I did some searches and found vision of removing a SS front end. I have removed all the screws and bolts outlined in that video. My problem is the bottom will not move. I have the flares undone. Took out every screw and bolt on the splinter Just can't make it move Any advice would be greatly appreciated. And I know " search is my friend ". I searched.

There are two screws under the front spoiler, they hold the the bumper to the frame, GM I'd not drill holes in the spoiler so you have to remove it to get the bumper off.

Did you get the bolts that are by the side marker lights? It looks like that’s where it’s stuck.

There's a 10mm bolt just behind the one you see, I don't think that one needs to be removed, but I could be wrong.

Your welcome, if you have a hole saw I think it's 1" in size you can drill 2 opening in the splitter where the bolts go, that way if you need to do this one's more you will not have to remove the splitter from the bumper, I have some pics of what we did, when I get in I will post.

Here are the 2 pics of what we did to help speed up the bumper removal, its free help so if you like use it, after we drilled the holes we got some plugs used to plug up tables that way you dont see the holes.
