Message	gussets? I've read mixed things about the passenger side gusset and oil tree. I can't recall if I ended up using a smaller bolt behind the oil tree, but in general, can you just loosen the bolts and move the gusset out of the way, or does it actually need to come off? Multiple people have said they've gotten away with just loosening it? How long did it take you? I've seen estimates anywhere between 2-4 hours, but I figure 4 for me given that I'm doing it for the first time and will need to clean up a lot of fairly new RTV.
