tip to removing that plastic boot retainer (instead of using screwdrivers 0:40), you can use a socket to squeeze over the end of the four tabs and it will instantly pop off. which socket size may vary depending on year model. some say 11/16 works, but on my 2017 jcw, i found a 5/8 worked perfectly.
