That's why I always appreciate the pros -- they deal with theis stuff everyday and earn every nickel they get.

Don't give up, you almost got it, but you do have more bolts to remove. Start by jacking it up and taking your wheel off and the splash guard in the fender wheel, working through that tiny hole you'll be able to take off/loosen the bolts that hold the bracket --its got to either come off or jget real loose. You may need to take the top motor mount off also and maybe the dipstick (you can work around that though), doing that will give you more room and let you see the bolts that need to come off.
