Help! Bumper removal
I'm installing my tow bar and can't get the @$#$#!!! bumper off. The driver side won't "slide" out.

I've removed the PDC cable, two T55 torx bolts, the four (2 each wheel well) 8mm bolts holding the plastic guard on, and removed the four tabs underneath. The passenger side slides off really easy. The driver side won't budge - even after hitting it with a rubber mallet. It seems to be caught up on the upper wheel well slide. What am I missing?
