Front bumper removal, stuck

Front bumper removal, stuck
Hi,
I have tried to remove the front bumper today, without succes
Couldnt find something about it in the workshop manual, so I checked the forum for a how-to.
I removed the bumper from a x305 before.
Just as the how-to describes and worked for me on the x305, I tried today on a x300 without succes.
I removed the shield underneath, removed the end of the air ducts so they are hanging free on the bumper, I unbolted the 2x 19mm bolts up front.
There is some play, but its stuck somewhere still.
I do not want to break anything.
What am I missing?

I haven't done it myself but may be referring to a through bushing . Dissimilar metal corrosion problem . There was a good post and pics on the rear as I think they are the same . Below is a pic of the non shock absorbing hardware setup and the absorbing setup is different . Links :

Thank you for supplying some links, I had found the same.
I read this thread, they mention something about "liners" in the last post.
I am not sure about what liners are they talking about.

Liners might be referring to through bushings or spacers as item # 2
