Very easy job and use the largest ratchet you have available to loosen the bolts. They are on there pretty tight.

Maybe a decent adjustable wrench when it comes time to tighten the nuts back down, I had a tiny bit of difficulty with the bar being in the way. Nothing to worry about.

Don't torque those babys down too hard when you are done. It is very easy to break them.

35 ft. lbs splits the range in the torque specs nicely.

Re: Question About Installing Front Strut Bar!!!!

I installed mine about two weeks ago and I gotta tell ya, I don't see a whole h.ell of alot of difference.. maybe its just me though. It looks cool though..
Oh yeah, don't forget to take all your tools out of there, they could put a nice little mountain in your hood. Specifically, the alen wrench.. how do I know?? well, it only took me $85 start to finish to make me remember that one forever.. (dumba.ss me right)
Peace-out
