Default Mustang A-Arm Support Brace, anyone have one? Need help

I was just under the stang looking to install my new Granatelli A-Arm support brace and I see the bolts. They have a tab on them, so I called my dad who works at the parts department to get another set so I can just brake the tabs off and take the bolts out through the bottom with the impact wrench because I can't get to the nut on top with it. He tells me they are adjuster cam bolts for the control arm and are $75 a kit. If this is suppose to be a quick install, why would you have to take out an adjuster bolt to put a little brace on. Has anyone done this or am i looking in the wrong place? Heres a picture of what I am dealing with. Please anyone, help me or I am going to have to send it back. Thanks.

Use an open-end wrench to take the nut off. Sometimes an impact wrench is the wrong tool.

Mine is set up backwards. If you look at the installation instructions from the manufacturers. The nut is on the bottom and the bolt and tab comes from the top. Mine is the opposite. I might not be able to use it. If it affects the alignment. Its not worth it to me to remove
