Default setting camber at home

after new steering rack, i managed to get toe set at home in my garage and car drives like new again.... i measured camber using a digital inclinometer with a straight edge piece of steel across the face of the rim. my garage floor is level to within 0.1°, and my left/right front tires measure 1.0°/1.1° positive caster.
I'd like to drop that down to between 0° and +0.2°.
I have the J-38658 coming in the mail,
anyone done this successfully?
i'm somewhat clueless as to what nut/bolt you loosen on the control arm to allow it to move so you can manipulate the caster & camber angles, if anyone can post '98-02 f-body specifics pics/videos that would be cool.

You adjust camber by loosening the front (horizontal) control arm bolt and caster by loosening the rear (vertical) control arm bolt.
