Big, big screwdriver or pry bar.  Lever it towards the front of the car,
to make room for the #2084 to fit behind.  On one occasion, I've had to
drop the alternator off and remove the mounting bracket from the car
to pull that rubber thing off completely.  Fork end fits first.  Always
a tight fit.

Should be 27mm.  I use 3/4" drive power sockets.
