Removed a front bumper bolt from my 49 and when I tried to put a new one in it would not go. Seems the bumper/bracket and valance panel were under tension. With a bit of persuasion it will go back but I am putting on bumperettes and cannot get a good grip on the bolt when it goes into the holes. I did consider removing the entire bumper assembly including the brackets and putting it back piece by piece. Any ideas?

Sorry. When I said it would not go in it was because the 3 holes are not lined up.

on my '48, I had a similar problem and loosened all the bolts and that helped them line up.
that's what I have discovered so far.
