I'm having trouble getting the nose piece (in front of the hood) off. I believe I need to take it off so that I can reattach an emblem (please correct me if I'm wrong here). I couldn't find anything on this in the TSRM.

It seems to be stuck where it attached to the fender. I took off two 10mm bolts on the left side under the left headlight but it still won't budge. When I look through the frame a bit I can see another bolt on the inside just above where the trim attaches, and I'm almost positive that it is what's holding the piece on at that corner. How can I get at that bolt? Am I going to have to take off the whole front bumper?

Pics for reference:

Need to put this:

And I'm stuck here (circled where I took out the two bolts):

I come from a land down under
See the pic with the circle?

They're inside there I use a 1/4 drive socket with a long extension from inside the fender with the plastic inner removed.

Helps if the wheels are off!

Just some screws inside the wheel well, and 1 or 2 bolts underneith the car just in front. You'll see them, its easy.
