I re-oriented the clamps so that next time I can just get a screwdriver on them.

I saw a video of a guy doing it super fast on an x-drive. He removed the tank and the fan and had pretty easy access to the clamps from above. I didn't do that on my RWD e91, but I'm tackling on my x-drive e60 next week that's been through a 2e85 code for about 20k miles and seems like it'll never die.
