How did you guys who have new/custom strut bars get the old bolts out.I got 3 out but the other 3 are in there sooooo good. I can not figure out a way to get them out to put the new one on top. PLEASE HELP

Get yourself some penetrating solution. Spray on, let sit for 10 minutes, come back and torque those bitches off. I'm sure I don't have to say this, but make sure the car is jacked up when you do this :-P

Actually...I would say don't jack up the car. If you do, the strut might fall out...after removing the bolts... Just leave the car on the ground... take off however many bolts you need... 2-3 and install... This post has been edited by Kwanza: Sep 26, 2003 - 1:29 AM |

for the standard 3 point bar that comes stock, only two bolts need to be taken off to remove the bar. Taking off all three bolts won't make the strut fall out (true, it might). I think I mistyped there and didn't put the n't on the is
