Question Can someone tell me how to take off the front clip?

I have a 96 Z and I was wondering if someone can tell me how to take off the front clip? I'd really appreciate some help!

it is best if you have a 1/4"air ratchet well faster any ways you have to take off all the lower covers if your taking off the fenders to go ahead and take out the fenderliners at the same time .take out the lower covers then there a 2 7mm bolts by the headlights take them out then 4 10mm bolts 2 on each side that hold the bumper on where it meats the fenders then pop out all the push type retainers. the bumper will slide off then just take out the 10mm bolts on the fender only hard one to get out is up by the mirror. pull it out at the top to get a socket on it. hope this helps

Thanks for the help man. I've gotten the bottom covers and all the bolts, but I can't for the life of me get those push retainers to come out I'm embarressed to say What's the trick with them? I've tried blade screwdrivers, pliers, both with no luck.

I have a tool for them but you can use side cutters Just grip them not cut them and pull the center out then the other pice will slide right out

I had trouble getting those retainers out too, but I just squirted a little dab of wd-40 on each side of the retainer, then they came right out.
