It should be a matter of the two through bolts up front and one 10 mm nut on the top of the frame rail that you access through the engine compartment. Tip the front of the bumper shock up and this should allow the 6mm stud that the nut screws on to drop down and out of the hole and then you should be able to pull it forward. Often times in the case of a front end collision it will damage the end of the frame where the bumper shocks go and cause it to be a real bear to get them out. Is the metal around the bumper shocks crinkled and distorted? If so this may be your problem.
