O.K. ;

Rob asked me how the heck to access the 13MM ATF nuts holding the driver side sway bar bushing clamp ~ pic. # 1 shows the 13MM 3/8" drive socket on a knuckle and long extension ,

Pic. # 2 shows me reaching one of the nuts on the bottom of the brake booster from under the hood .

Pic. # 3 shows how I reached the other 13MM ATF nut from underneath the left fender after removing the wheel and the delicate cute little , very important white (when new) plastic cover .

To access the upper two nuts I had to disconnect some wires and move them out of the way .

All in all this isn't a terribly difficult job , just lots and lots of mindless labor plus turning  nuts one or two flats , re position the wrench , turn it one more flat , re position the wrench.... this sort of work will drive you bonkers but patience is king here .

I have a whole slew of photos I took doing this job , they're blurry and poorly lighted but once you're working on it , they'll make perfect sense .

After you struggle this one clamp off , the rest of the job is pretty straight forward .

Sorry I don't know how to make PDF files .
