On your own... Once the bolt is broken loose(Breaker bar and box end wrench) it is easiest to use a long extension or 2, swivel, and an air ratchet( not impact wrench) to back the nut off. The bolt has a flag welded onto it so it will stay put while the air ratchet works the nut off.
With a helper (or very long arms)... Have them hold the box end while you use the ratchet on the other side.
Some have pulled off the front grill to have more of a straight shot at it.

BOTH are out of wack after alignment, chewing at your tires every mile.
We've always done alignments same day within an hour after finishing. Then in a month or so again after it settles. Cheaper than new tires

So any ideas why driver side front is about three quarters of an inch lower then passanger side? are there any negative effects of driving like that?, if I add quarter inch top plate on that side I think that might correct that issue?
