It will be the 3rd bolt you've missed I suspect..the hidden bolt.

Thereafter though it CAN be a bit tricky to get it out.

I found the top of the bumper needs pressing down a little to free the plastic section that runs down to said 3rd bolt. Can be done on yer own but another set of hands can be usefull.

Had BOTH of mine in and out a dozen bloody times over Xmas...Grrrrrrrrrr! >:(

Had mine out the other day ::) They are a very tight fit! Have you removed the little grill next to the fog lights to get your hand up and disconnect the washer jets? Then it's a squeeze but does go, although I found it easier to turn the stub on the end of the washer unit so it doesn't catch anywhere ;)
