I'd gone too far and couldn't get it back together ;) Necessity is the mother in invention, I guess...I used a bolt cutter to get the nuts off.
Note I did have the OE part kit which came with new nuts and rubber so I had license to be as destructive as I wanted to. (I trimmed back the rubber part and compressed enough to slide the jaws in and snip the rod...the bolts did fly quite a distance...)
I also used spring compressors, not a for an ultra-tight tight squeeze, you're just trying to buy a couple inches.
IIRC, the lower bolts also take quite a bit more torque than I was really in the mood for.
All said, however...it seems to be one of those jobs a shop can do more economically.
