damn i knew there was an easier way, if i had just removed the rear mount
too it would have been a fairly easy job to get that front bolt out, the
rear one will just barely slide out between the inner fender.  I must have
fought that thing for hours last summer when i did this.  oh well now i
know.  maybe this will help those other guys who are getting ready to do
this. thanks
