This thing is a right pain in the arse.
It is so hard to get to.
I went at it from underneath.
There is not enough room to get your whole hand onto it at once.
Got my hand between the exhaust and the steering rack. It’s on the drivers side
Leave it connected. Undo the 10mm bolt. Yeah. Not so easy
I had to get the ¼” ratchet onto it to clear the harness and get just the right length on it. The 3/8ths was a bit big. The ¼” ratchet was too short so got the visegrips onto it. Had to make tiny movements over 10mins to get the bolt out.
Spanner was too short and I wasn’t able to get my hand in and turn the bolt.
A really long 10mm ratcheting spanner would be the go.
Took about an hour
