Hello,

I am replacing AOS on my 2003 Boxster-s 3.2 and having hard time removing lower clamp. Please note 2003 boxster has different AOS design (please see picture) and there are no bellows.

The issue: I am trying to reach AOS lower clamp from passenger side but can't see the clamp as it is hiding under the AOS so I am trying to go by feel (I have moved oil filler tube out of the way) and I can see the clamp from driver side but can't reach (I am not 10 feet tall).

Any tips on how to reach and remove this clamp? (BTW: It is porsche compression/spring clamp)
