It's a 7mm nut. I used a really small 7mm socket and socket wrench and still had a tough time getting them off. You just need to bend the bumper out to allow more room.....i still have a scar on my finger from it rubbing against the bumper while I was removing the nuts [:@]

just take the 2 nutz off one side of the bumper and a couple push pins under the bumper and you will reach easily without taking the whole bumper off. Sounds like more work but once you do it you will seen its very simple. I just swapped to a 04 cobra bumper with delete grill.
