Tip on getting the sides of the bumper off, at least for my 98 was to push down on side as best you can, while pulling away from the car with your other hand. Went off np.

the only way i can get the bumper off is by jacking up the car, supporting it on jack stands, removing the wheels, unscrewing the fenderwell, getting underthere and taking it off the clips with a flathead... if anybody has any better way, please tell me, its a huge pita!!

just do what everyone says but dont be afraid to use some force. OEM bumpers are pretty tough.
