ABS Module Removal - XJ
I have read the blow-by-blows on pulling the ABS module, but the XJ orientation is different from the XK. The issue is how to get at the lower E5 star bolts. On my '01 XJ the heads are just a half inch or so from the frame member. (Whose idea was that?)
I thought about vise grips and a stubby socket but it is really cramped to get in there, especially if not removing the brake lines. Any clever solutions or tool that makes it easier?
Thanks

I used vice grips (small ones from Harbor Freight) to hold the star socket. It was difficult but not impossible. Patience is the key. I removed brake lines first. I had to anyway - would not have been able to get module past the actuators on the pump if they were still in place.
The bolts are not on too tight - once I broke them with the socket and vice grips, I was able to do the rest with my fingers.
