Ah, it's tough on that side.

You can either 1)take off the front bumper, which isn't as difficult as it seems, or 2) turn the wheels, or take off the right front wheel, and open up the wheel well cover.

Personally, I think it's easier to take off the bumper. While you're at it, install some sport horns.

no even with the wheel well off you cant get it.

you gotta take off the bumper atleast partially. theres screws inside the wheel well, as well as those at the bottom of the bumper, and if nescessary the fasteners on the top under the hood, take off as far over on top and bottom untill you can pull the bumper away enough for you to work in there.

theres alternatives... pull away the bottom skid plate and use a S shaped screw driver to fit in there. you dont HAVE to pull of the bumper, all you gotta do is get in thee, whatever method that is, if you have small hands its easier.

bumper is just the way that will always work if you dont have the right tools or hands like a 10yo girl.
