if you find access is too hard to cut the head of the bolt off with a zip disc, because the bumper sorta wraps around, try the disc straight on the head of the bolt. X cut it down to the washer, then do another X in between that. keep doing the X's and pretty soon the head of the bolt is gonna have nothing holding it on. a small whack with a hammer and the head will fall right off or be easily twisted off with a plier or vice grip.
