saw that thread, I guess what I was looking for was tips and tricks on removing this with a cherry picker,..i kinda remember seeing someone that did this on a build thread a while ago, but I cant seem to find it again

no big deal, im sure I can figure it out, although it couldn't hurt to ask

Ive only done it with help. You can do it with two people but a third makes it super easy. The front is significantly heavier and with out that extra person it takes a bit more balance and strength.

Pulling the front bumper makes it easier to get the clip off. Allows you to pull it forward before going up. Never tried the cherry picker but two guys will work and I agree three is better.
