Hi I got some pretty bad installation instructions from cattman and i was wondering you guys have better instructions on how to install the ADDCO/CATTMAN RSB. The picture that i received was completely black and im a visual person so i don't think i will be able to install without all your help its a 2000 maxima by the way =)

thanks a lot

Punkdork is an expert on the Addco RSB. PM him, or just wait.....he may find this post.

 

1.. Insert the 4 red thingies onto the bar...
2.. Raise the back of the car!! (so you have enough room to crawl under & move around freely!)
3.. Unscrew the screws that attach the brakelines to the side of the underbody... (should be located near the rear wheels on each side...
4.. Get a helper and have him hold the bar up under the rear beam... (Preferably someone strong!!)
5... Screw in all the supports and brackets evenly & one at a time until they are tight enough so your helper can let go...
(Important!!! Your must screw in all the bolts evenly or the RSB will be on crooked!!!)
6... Tighten every screw to about 25lbs torque pressure.
(Don't forget to put back the brakeline screws)
7... Go find a road with alot of sharp curbs and start burning rubber!

 

is it possible to do alone??????

 

Yeah!... but can you bench press a 30 pound bar with one hand and keep it up while putting the screws on with the other hand?
If your don't have a helper, try using something like a box to support it while the screws and brackets are put on...

 

damn, hope i can do it right.

i'll have to set something ghetto up. i have 4 jack stands so i could use two to hold the car up and the other two to hold the bar up. lol. it'll be fun.

at least when i'm done i know i did it all by myself and i can go for a joy ride.

i've worked on cars before, i think the worst job i did by myself was changing an H-pipe, that was a pain, so i'm hoping this won't be as bad.
