Instead of struggling to turn the shock nut 1/8 turn at a time on the passenger side you can drill a 1” hole through the plastic under the fuse box. The fuse box unclips in seconds without the use of any tools. I will post a pic of how I laid the hole out and one with the ratchet in the hole. The pic can be hard to see so the dimensions to center are 3 1/4 inches from the engine side of the plastic well and 1 inch from the fire wall side of the plastic well. To close up the hole you can get a blank grommet from just about any car parts store. This made removal and install super easy.

Love this! Thank you!

I just took a dremel tool with a cut off wheel to the battery tray to get enough room for a ratchet wrench to the top nut.

Your way works and is a nice write up. I just didn't want to mess with the TIPM.
