Removing front impact absorber

["Joshua Weader" <weader@xxxx>]

I'm having a hard time figuring out how to get the front impact absorber off. The manual says to remove the 5 bolts holding it on, which seems easy enough. The location of the bolts would also seem obvious, with the 5 holes in the front of the absorber. However, the only thing I see at the far end of those holes is a flat piece of metal, not a bolt head. Are the bolts behind that piece? And if so, how do I get to them? I know the bolts are in there somewhere - I can see them when I look up between the edge of the foam and the front pontoon.

Any insight would be appreciated - this one has me stumped.
