98 Mark VIII needs suspension compressor

underscoring my, just use the wheel well comment.

The bumper is a pain in the ass, particularly when you're dealing with old rusty screws that are don't turn.... I have big hands, but I've been able to change the compressor a few times without too much problems, especially after you remove the air silencer, working through the hold under the air filter, and sometimes working through the headlamp cover.

The car is so low I cannot get a jack under it to get the wheel off to go thru the wheel well. I have off the front air dam, the top of the grill,all the screws around the bottom edges of the bumper cap, but I cannot find where else it is being held on.

Had to pull both head lights to get the bumper cap off.
 
Can anyone tell me where the back shelf support bolt is that is holding up the compressor? That is all i have left to drop the compressor.

Okay how do you get the air silencer out? I have it all loose but cannot twist it enough with enough clearance to get it out?

Got the car up using wifes suburban jack,got wheel liner out of the way and there was the bolt holding the tray. Man this is harder than the A?C module or the front air shocks.
