Well i decided to install my cruise control behind the engine on my 07 (the V65 way) & had to remove the rear shock & just about everything else on top, to get to the top bolt. Well the nut is facing the left side & the bolt slides in from the right. Well it was super easy to get the nut off , BUT the bolt while coming out the right hit the ABS bracket & i had a super hard time to take it out (most likely , just as much fun putting it back in). So to my question, can the top bolt be slid in from the left & nut too the right ??? I noticed a sleave on the right of the mount & not on the left ???
