I've never been able to get at that bolt without removing the bumper, but you might get lucky!

My '85 as rubber strips covering the bumper bolts, so that means replacing at least half of the clips when I pull them off.

Pry out the plug that conceals the phillips screw into the body panel. From the end or from the bottom you could be able to get a 13mm socket on the carriage bolt from the back.
