The best tip I have is to set up something next to the driver side that is just about door sill height (I use an old wooden file cabinet turned on its side - it is pretty sturdy). Add blankets and pillows to provide cushioning for you and to protect the car's paint. This will make it much more tolerable working on your back down in the footwell. If you start to feel cramped or are just uncomfortable, spend your time down there in short 5-10 min sessions. I found that the better the cushioning, the easier it is to spend longer periods down there.
Well if you want a fifth RJM install under your belt, come on over to FL and install mine. I'll buy you lunch and dinner! LOL

More great tips. Thanks! So no need to put the car up on ramps I guess. Sounds like that would make things more difficult.

Don't be afraid to take the seat out to give you some room to turn wrenches.

I opted to leave the seat in. It wasn't too bad getting under there, and would have been fine if you could just do everything in one shot. It was the in/out in/out in/out from the awkward position that really sucked.

That and RJM must have a lot of sharp edges cause I sliced the heck out of my right hand lol

Reminds me I need to adjust it again today. Still trying to nail down exactly where I want it.
