that one's a real pain to take out. I used like 5 extensions, through the engine bay with one swivel extension at the tip.. it's actually super easy, once you're able to reach it. make sure to use plenty of bolt lube.

You can disconnect the steering linkage, and move it out of the way.

I never have a problem with it. I just use a 2 foot long extention to reach it.

I must say that it takes a hell of a lot of TQ to snap it free on the first turn. I use an extention on the handle of the wrench and a lot of force to break it lose.

The procedure as a whole is surprisingly easy.
