Default Front tow hook removal question

Do I have to remove my front bumperin order to remove my two front tow hooks?

I will be installing a T&H Front Grill with brush guard:

The main pipe gauge is 60mm or 76mm gauge (depends on vehicle size).
Pipes of the brush guards and skid tubes are 38mmm/1.5" gauge.
Available in stainless steel and black powder coat.
Note: Factory tow hooks may have to be removed but are replaced by tow hooks provided.

You might be able to get them off using a wobble/flex socket from underneath on a long extension.. Kinda tight spot/angle to get into though.. But pulling one of these bumpers is pretty easy if need be.... Helps to have someone else there for the balancing act though..

Nice setup....

Hayapower,

Thank you for the advice, I ended up taking off the front bumper, 6 bolts total to remove the front tow hooks and replace them with mounting brackets and replacement tow hooks. Did not take long to take off but took awhile to put back up because I was doing this myself.

Thanks again for the help.

Regards,
