Once you remove all the clips, screws and bolts, don't be afraid when you pull the bumper away from the body. There'll be some snaps located by the taillights so you have to shimmy to get the bumper loose.
Tip: Use a blow dryer to help pop the dent out. Warm up the area for several minutes and use your hand to pop out the major dent portion. If you notice little dents or imperfections, warm up the area again but this time, use a rounded tool such as a screwdriver.
