If you mean the rear one the muffler hangs on, I believe you need to remove the bumper cover.

I'm pretty sure yhat you have to take the fascia off. Bolted onto the back of that huge steel beam is an even huger styrofoam bumper thing which wraps around the sides of the beam. That's gotta come off too.
But I'm not sure.
