Default Any tips for removing the rear bumper cover?

Hey guys. I have a faulty sensor that I want to replace. I’ve done the research and see where all of the clips and hardware is that holds the bumper in place. Any tips to removing it so that I don’t break anything? My biggest concern are the pegs that hold the bumper in place along each side. Just not sure how much force needs to be applied in order to release them. Thanks for any help.

OK so I got the bumper off but I can’t quite figure out how to release the clips that hold the sensors in place. Any help?

OK, I figured it out. You first have to unplug the sensors. It’s a bit tricky but there is a tab on the top of the plug that you need to push down pretty hard at the back end of the plug and it will release and you can unplug the sensor. Once the sensor is unplugged there is a base that surrounds the sensor that you need to slide or wiggle to the driver side of the car. It will slide and once it slides off the sensor, you can remove the sensor out through the outside of the bumper. Hope this helps.
