Help with front bumper reinstall...

Okay, so this question can really only be answered by those who have uninstalled/reinstalled their front bumper...

So there are two screws holding the R and L side of the front bumper to either fender (above the corner markers). Upon re-installing my bumper, I could easily get the rear-ward screws closest to the wheels installed, but the screws closest to the front seem impossible to reinstall b/c there just doesn't seem to be enough space to manipulate a wrench in there. It wasn't a big deal on the OEM bumper b/c it is fairly rigid, but my KZ poly bumper has more flex in it, and I feel those extra two screws would really help make the gap more flush. Any tips from people who have found a secret to this process???

I used the 2 extensions that usually come with a socket set. It helps to turn the wheel all the way in to be able to pull the liner more out of the way.

If you wanna make it easier put it on jack stands, so you can have more room to work with.
