the drivers side rear is the hardest part.....

just undo the fuel inlet tubes and push them aside.. it'll give you more access to the shock tower...

its not as hard as everyone makes it seem to be.

just have the proper sockets and adapters and you will be ok. take your time, and make sure all the sockets are fully on the bolts so you don't strip anything.

Secret technique #1:

Upon reinstallation of the upper bolts for the driver rear suspension, wrap the nut with a layer of electrical tape, so that it stays in the DEEP SOCKET that you're using, along with an extension. Thread the nuts in by hand with the extension, then attach a ratchet and torque down. Remember to get it at an angle. It's not as hard as it seems.

Cake. If I have to take a picture for you, you'd owe me a beer.

Hot shot toolmakers do, but hot-shot DIY-ers don't.

what i used with mine was a swiver socket with magnet inside. You can get those magnetic insert at like sears or automotive stores then u should be fine. In fact, i think u can access that if u kinda move the big rubber piece in there. It looks to me that rubber piece is just a cover for the line. Again ive never open the rubber piece so i really cant tell u whats inside

The rubber piece is just a cover, and you would have to move it a bit to get a correct angle on the inner nut.
