right in the front of the boot (not visible) theres a nut type thing might have to move the boot a bit to see it. those things are a pain in the ass, worst design ever. while your at it go to the parts store and get moog ones because those are 10X better and you will probably rip your boot anyways. and if you still can't figure it out, get a sawzall and cut the nut off and put in new moog ones.

doesn't matter where you cut it, just so long it slides out.
