>>>Bolts need to be turned from outside and nuts held on the inside of the
>>>car.<<<
Options:
1. You can convince your wife or kids to help.
2. You can affix (solder or weld) the nuts to a strap of metal thus reverse
engineering Rootes logic and remove the solenoid by yourself (the next
time). Of course... you have to get it out modify it.
3. You can choose to forgo the servo booster and have a convenient spot to
bolt the solenoid. Effectively killing two birds (problems) with one stone.
