Default Removing front bumper

Hey guys

tonight I had a small accident with my blazer and my dads s10 pickup

I sorta hit some ice and slid into him NO Harsh damage but i did dent his bumper with my brush guard

I was going to remove the bumper to knock the dent out but

I only see 3 bolts 2 on the brackets and 1 on a bar on each side

is that all thats holding it ?

they are not hard to get off as long as you have a good pull handle and they are not to rusted on

yup, gotta pull the grill, youll see 2 torx which are T50s on top, then you need about a 6 inch extension to get the two lowers, and then the two side supports to the frame
