I did it all with just a regular metric allen wrech, and the first time I did it all from the top ! I quickly learned that it is much easier to get to the lower two from under the vehicle

As the resident expert in this job, and the IP R&R, what's the deal with the lower mounting bracket for the IP? Can you leave the bracket on the IP and simply remove the two lower screws, or do you need to somehow (I can't see how) separate the IP from the bracket, prior to removing the IP?
Also, since the IP sits within 1/2" of the filter housing, what's the trick to getting the IP clear of the spline? How's this possible without pulling the filter housing?
