On my '98, I went in from the side. I removed the fender liner to give me better visability. With a decent light, you can clearly see what you're doing, something that's not possible from the top. I tried using calipers but found it easier to count the clicks. Marking it would be good but metal's too hard to make a scratch and a marker rubs off.

After you finish, open the top cap to make sure the Gov. arm doesn't pass under the plate. Go to PDR's site for directions to do that.



Have fun.
