If you peel back the rubber gromet, there are two flat spots where you can attach a 17mm open end wrench. Use another 17mm wrench on the front. However, I was unable to break the bolt loose. I have heard you will need a breaker bar, but you will need to position it in the wheel well somehow.

In the end I gave up, and paid the local ford dealer $90 to do it.
