[A4] Removing a 1999 A4 Avant rear bumper

[Kent McLean]

Listers,

I'm stumped.  I've removed the four 17mm bolts under the spare tire
cover. I've removed the 2 20T torx screws inside the rear fender wells.

The manual says, "Unclip bumper from bracket -4- and remove toward
rear."  Ha!  I've pulled and pushed and pulled.  I fear Ill break
something expensive (or NLA) if I pull any harder.

What's the trick to getting the bumper "unclipped"?
Or did I miss a fastener?

This is a late '99, which differs from the early '99s by that clip
and bracket.
