Mine is a 1998 Escort ZX2. Hope this helps. Well, I don't know if this forum will allow links to be displayed, so I've copied and pasted below the answer just in case:
You have to basically remove the bumper cover in order to do this.
You will need a 10mm socket with a couple extensions and a Phillips screwdriver.
First remove the plastic shield inside the wheel well using the Phillips screwdriver.
There are 3 10mm bolts that have to be removed the attach the bumper cover to the fender. The first one is just inside the newly uncovered hole. For the other 2 you will need the extensions. They are located all the way back in the hole beside the headlight assembly. If you look in with a flashlight You will see 3 bolts down in there. One of them will have a 1/2 inch spacer on it. Do not worry about this bolt, it holds the header panel on. The other 2 bolts are the ones you need to remove. Once this is done, if you need to remove the bolts under the hood that hold the bumper cover on the header panel. You should now have adequate movement to move the bumper cover out of the way of the 3 10mm bolts on the headlight assembly that were blocked.
