Actually, I'm pretty sure it sits just in front of the rack.  I've been seeing
mine a lot lately since I pulled the motor!  It does look easy to remove; one
end seems to be just bolted to the rack, but I'm not sure offhand how the
moving end is attached.  In any case, I'm sure you'll need to get underneath to
get access if you motor is where it should be.  Don't forget to make sure the
car is safely supported on jack stands before you go under...
