do you have the entire assembly or the lens only?, if the lens you pop in the oven for 10 minutes at lowest setting to heat and soften then urethane bond to separate. or are you wanting to know how to remove the bumper to remove the assembly???

Same way, heat it up and squeeze it back on. I used a hair dryer on mine or you could use a heat gun. I didn't even try to remove the bonding glue I just left it on and pressed it together snapping the clips on one at a time.
