    Hey all, I have a 2012 with about 117k miles on it and I'm swapping out the inverter pump. I am having an issue getting the little bracket back in that has two nuts welded to it. There are two bolts that install from below. Any advise on how to get that bracket to align and stay in place?

    I don't habe access to a second pair of hands so...thanks for any insights and experience doing this.

    I can't get a photo of the bracket right now.

    Inverter went bad so, since it's got 117k on it, it's good insurance. Finally got the bolts in. Wow. Hard.

    Access from underneath? Do you have to pull the bumper cover? Total time? You get the idea;).

    Always good to document your experience so we all can learn. Might save the next guy some time and effort (y).
