Take the passenger wheel off. You can see it after that. I had 3 extensions and a knuckle on the end. Sometimes it helps if someone else guides it from below and is there to catch it.

I didn't have to take anything off but the tire. Good luck. Easy fix.

Use a 1/4" ratchet with about 10-12"s of extension and it comes out easy from under the truck. I didn't see a need for taking the tire off.

Just make sure not to cross thread it going back it. Use an extension from under the truck to tighten it by hand first.

Congrats
