Process for removing the two bolts behind the front tow hooks

[Mike E]

I was wondering if someone can outline the process for correctly removing the two bolts that are behind the front tow hooks on the H3. I have the older style where the little bolt is behind the hook and you have to remove stuff to get to it behind the bumper. I really don't feel like drilling through the plate like others or spinning the hook off and possibly scratching the paint on the bumper. I would like to take my time and remove them properly. Also, once I get them off, can I leave them off? Thanks guys!!! Mike
