The rearward bolt had a flat side to it facing out and replaced it in the same orientation although I may take it in for a check. Replaced the front bolt washer in the its original orientation also.

I did loosen one bracket but think I broke the clips holding it, but don't see how it can move as it has about 3 lines attached to it and going in opposite directions. May try to zip tie it back as it is on the inside of the shock tower.

I did have to push the small fuel line around a bit. It did seem a little loose in that area.

Thanks, mtnsmith

Yep finally got it to move enough with that one bracket loose. Thanks again, mtnsmith

Liked I thanked Roundhouse for his suggestion to loosen a bracket, I did and got it out, replaced upper control arm and all done.
