MG MGF Technical - Radiator those 2 bolts !

I have read threads/pages about removing the radiator without the bumper removal. I just can not fathom how I can get my (small) hands or angle to the back of the 2 annoying bolts (attached to slam and bumper panels) with spanner ! - I have tried unsuccessfully for a while now this afternoon/evening!
- long story short, couple of extra rusty bolts making bumper removal even tricker at present thats why I am aiming to leave that on !
Thanks in advance.

Keep trying! I did it that way earlier this year, your hand does get a bit mashed, pushing the top of the bumper up and forward, but you can the get a 10mm open spanner unto them.
I have heard of people spot welding the nuts to the bracket when removing the whole bumper to save anguish the next time. Good luck!
