Exactly what needs to be done, and in what sequence in order to lower the bracket just enough to remove the camber adjustment bolts. I would be doing this ONLY to remove the bolts, so I wouldn't want to do anything unnecessary.

...the camber adjusting bolts, removing the bolts attaching the bracket to the differential and lowering it enough to remove them?? -

I just had to do that yesterday. One of my adjusting bolts had stripped threads.
Yes, That is what I did to get clearance. Getting the four bolts that attach the bracket back in is a little hard. That setup wants to move around. (Spring tension) I had my jack centered under the spring and both wheels off the ground. I'm not sure if this was helping or hurting me with getting the bracket and four bolts aligned.
Good Luck, and let me know how it turns out.

Ken,
My car has stock, underneath exhaust....it looks like the bracket will drop just enough to remove the adjusting bolts. Is that correct?Comment

Not sure. My car has side exhaust. I needed to lower the bracket so the two adjusting bolts can clear the fiberglass floor panels. I'm not sure how much more work there is for an under car exhaust system.

Ken,
Thanks for the replies...It looks like I might not have enough room to lower the bracket to remove the adjusting bolts with the undercar exhaust pipes in place. After thinking it over, I'm just going to clean them up in place and leave them. Thanks again...Comment

Hi Rob:
You can gain some additional clearance by removing the stainless exhaust extensions and unbolting the mufflers from the rear hangers so that the mufflers and pipes drop down slightly. If necessary, even more clearance can be obtained by dropping the pipes from the mount at the transmission. I know it sounds like a lot of steps but it goes pretty quickly.
On my car the exit pipes from the mufflers hit the lower edge of the rear valence when I do this, but the interference is so slight that I can flex things enough to clear. Otherwise the two outside bolts on the valence would also have to be removed to pull the valence out of the way.Comment
