Default pulling the radiator support forward - SNUB

So I followed apr's directions and removed the side screws below the turn signals (step 13) and I can't seem to move the support forward. Anyone have any tips?

All you should have to do is remove the bumper, unbolt the ac condensor and slide out of the way and then remove the bumper support shocks.. And also the tabs on top of the radiator. Then it should be able to slide forward enough to squeeze the snub on.
Ive done it twice this way before... and a crow bar helps a lot when trying to get the snub onto the spindle if there is still limited room to work with..

Well I got it on by removing the spindle and pressed the new snub on.

i had to use a clamp to press the new snub on, i busted a piece of thick steel inbetween the radiator and the other side of the clamp.

I put my snub in the micro for a minute, and it was REALLY hot, but I just put it on the spindle and put my weight on it and it fit.
