Moving along slowly. To remove the Y-brace you have to unscrew the front sub-frame bolt. I guess you support that corner with a jack, remove the bolt and then put it back? Seems like maybe it would be better to remove the diff first to get some weight off the sub-frame and then take off the Y-brace. Any opinions?
I don't like to rip up or break any of the plastic retainers. The front end of the fender liner, covering the outer Y-brace bolts (2 of them) has a pin-type retainer. Used a little pin driver to push it back out the way it came, other side didn't want to budge so pushed the little plastic pin further in until it came all the way through.
