1) remove 3 bolts from each strut tower
2) place strut bar on top of tower
3) if tired, grab a beer
4) put bolts back on
5) grab another beer.







drinking the beer will probably take more time to do than the install

Yeah but atleast he'll be a happy MoFo when he's done that's if he don't over tighten the Strut Towers... !!!!

Nice comment I knew I forgot something when I put my Vibrant's Strut Tower brace ...

If you don't have a torque wrench, you should seriously consider getting one.

Every other month Sears has the these three on sale; and even $75 (each) isn't a bad price:

3/8 10-75 ft.lbs <--Most usefull
3/8 25-250 in.lbs (about 2-21 ft.lbs)
1/2 20-150 ft.lbs

Or you can always rent one if you're not planning on working on your car that much.

Torque is especially important here because those nuts are extremely easy to strip. 18 ft-lbs is nothing you can't easily go past with a 1/4" wratchet.
