Can't remove my Smitty SRC front bumper - Ideas???
I should have known when the front and rear bumper were so hard to install that it would be a giant PITA to take them off!
I have the top two bolts out, and the bottom bolts have the stover nuts removed. I never installed the two bottom carriage bolts that the instructions say to remove, so I should have them all. I cannot get this thing to budge! I have hit it on all corners with a 4lb hammer and some from underneath thinking that would loosen it up, but nothing. I am 240lbs, stood on the front up it and jumped up and down...nothing.
I am out of ideas.
Please help me remove this piece of crap so I can install my Poison Spyder Brawler Lite this afternoon!!!!

I'm dumbfounded.
Wide wouldn't let me use her Jeep to anchor off of, so I am going to have to wait until the neighbor comes home in a few hours and use his truck with the hitch. If that doesn't work then I am out of ideas and guess I will drive it to a shop and see what they can do....

I got it!!! Finally just got pissed off enough and broke it free. I thought maybe it was rusted really bad, but it wasn't. I think it just need some extra mad persuasion to get the threads in the one bolt to loosen up. I still cant believe it took the weight of the front end without moving!!! Thanks fellas!
