no don't have to take the battery out. move the washer tank out of the way. then it's easy to get a box wrench on the nut. i used my impact wrench to back the bolt out and needed it to put the bolt back through. it would hardly go through the bushing sleeve.

what did you use to get the bolt out on the driver's side? i'm afraid if i need my impact wrench there is no room to get in there.
