I probably poked around at it for a good hour and I just remember feeling so defeated, but somehow as my morale was getting lower and lower the socket finally got on that clamp. Maybe my small hands helped. I remember at many points during the whole process I was jamming my forearm into many openings at all different angles lol.

Yeah, realistically, mine probably took me about that too, but I had to go get the new bump and it was 90 minutes each way to get it from FCP Euro, and then cleaning up in the garage.

Yes, I remember exactly the same thing. I loathe the thought of having to do it again in 25k-30k miles.
