I cant get to the driver side upper link bolt with a ratchet, any tricks? I cant move that bracket for brake line, my gooseneck is bolted over the washer/head of bolt.

Yes, it's a PITA. ...you need to let the DEF tank hang by the inner bolt above the driveshaft. Also, you need to loosen that bracket holding the brake lines.

I unbolted the tank and lowered it on a jack and used an impact. On my truck they used way too much locktite to use a ratchet. I had to use a torch to melt it.

Wow...I guess having long arms is a bonus. I just reached up and over the def tank and slapped the bolt in there. I didn't take anything loose.

Mine was a bitch. I did the passenger last and I couldn't loosen the nut with a 1/2" drive ratchet. Yea you cant get too much leverage on your back but still it shocked me.
I hate Locktite. never use the crap. I always just use grease or Anti-Seize.
