Need help with front bumper removal PLEASE!

Curses to Nissan for making us remove the whole damn bumper to install this Street Scenes grille...anyway:

I removed all the clips underneath, the clips inside the wheel wells, removed the headlights, side markers, disconnected the fog lights, removed the four clips on top of the current grille, and peeled back the fender liner as much as humanly possible. I can get to, and remove the first screw that's right inside the well after you peel back the liner, but how in blazes do you get to and remove that second screw?? Should I have taken the wheels off before starting to allow better access to peeling back the liner? It doesn't seem to want to peel back that much in the first place.

Any tips anyone can give on this last step in removing the front bumper would be much appreciated, or just tips in general on removal. I feel like a tool driving around with just the lower valence on (brings attention to my pocked-up lower bumper ).

I have the FSM, thank you for the offer though!

I used the FSM to determine the location of everything I'd need to do to remove the bumper - my question was posed to the .org community, particularly those who have removed the front bumper to install a new grille, or for other reasons, to hear from them what real world technique I can use to get to the other screws needed to remove the front bumper. Perhaps I'm going about it the wrong way or doing something wrong in my approach, hence this topic...

Thanks again for the offer, it's much appreciated!
