Wow. My bolts weren't rusted at all and they loosened on my first try. I didn't remove the rear tire either.
It took me about 2 minutes to mark the location with a sharpie, loosen the bolts, push the LSVP down 1/4", and tighten the bolts.
The pictures by ed97 were extremely helpful in locating the LSVP and figuring out which bolts to loosen.
I'm not sure why pushing the LSVP helps, but after the lift (heavy front, med rear) my brakes didn't seem balanced and my rear brakes started making noise after a couple months.
So, I decided to give this a try and now the rear brakes appear to engage more appropriately. Noise went away for now, but I also need to check if I need new rear brake pads.
