Hey - thanks for this. I only asked not because I doubt you, but there's lots of info on here and other places from people who have not done it - just read or "heard about how to do it". I value the advice, but need to know if coming up from underneath it's doable - which it seems it is. I will have to give it a look because I didn't think it possible. But what do I know...

So I scoped out the "route in" tonight. Seems the front two bolts are ok. The back drivers side is doable, but the other side at the back - forget it. How the heck am I supposed to reach that? I can get my fingers on it, but positioning a socket on it even with a U-joint is almost impossible. Better if the exhaust or the drive shaft wasn't there, but I'm not removing those.
Is there a best practice here to get those?
Again - I've seen a post whereby access to the back bolts was through the spare tire well and then removing the evaporator canister (?). Mine bolts on that are solidly rusted in so I don't know if I should even attempting a Dremel on that and then replacing them...
one step forward...three back.

No dice - I don't have a u joint set like this - just an adaptor. I still can't get to the last bolt - passenger side back. I think I'll have to go through the spare tire space. I managed to get three of the four loose. Compounded to that, I have no idea how I'd. reach the connector.
That and probably my arm and hand is too fat
I tried going in through the left rear wheel too. That was even more difficult.
I noticed though that the bolts that hold the evaporations. canister on are rusted solid. I'll have to cut them and then run a new bolt. So damn annoying.
