installing an FSTB
#4
here you go...
tools:
14mm socket wrench
adjustable crescent wrench
torque wrench
the car was flat on the ground when I did the installation.
1. use 14mm wrench, remove the 6 strut tower nuts
2. do a preliminary adjustment for width. twist the ring braces (the C shaped ends that go on the strut tower bolts) to adjust the width
3. on one side (I did passenger side first), put a ring brace onto the bolts and screw the nuts on to hold it in place but don’t tighten completely
4. go to the other side and make final width adjustment with the ring brace so it can fit over the bolts . screw nuts on but don’t tighten completely
5. make sure the bends of the FSTB are towards the top. use adjustable crescent wrench, tighten centering nuts on each end against the brace itself
6. use the torque wrench and torque the 6 strut tower nuts to 35 ft-lbs
7. use adjustable crescent wrench to tighten nut on bolt that connects strut tower brace to the ring braces
done!
good luck
