Yes, the rear bolt (vertical) has to be knocked out the top, and the front bolt (horizontal) has to be knocked out to the front. The front bolt may be hard to get past the steering rack (rubber boot) but it'll go. I found with mine that a couple of the bolts must have been slightly rusted, and took quite a bit of "encouragement" (aka: force) to get out

The forward bolt is the camber adjustment bolt and the rearward bolt is the caster adjustment bolt.
The caster bolt head will hit the inner fender unless the A-Arm is pushed almost all the way in.
The camber bolt removal will require you to turn the wheel all the way to lock one way and remove one side and then all the way to lock the other way to remove the opposite side. Like said above, it's a tight fit, but it will come out.
