01-03 bumper and hood removal

What tools will i need to get the bumper off of an 01-03 edge? its sitting very low to the ground right now with snow all around it and i just want to make sure i bring the correct tools and socket set/sizes to remove the bumper/valence as a hole from the truck.

Also, what size socket will i need to remove the powerdome from the truck?

Im in a bit of a rush, about to go out the door and I didn't search but i would like to know as soon as i can just in case i don't have the right size or tools.

Thanks!

The bumper and valance will come off in one piece and is held by 2 bolts on each side. a ratchet and 18mm socket is required. One bolt is kinda hard to get to behind the trans cooler. The hood just takes a 8mm or 5/16 socket...
