First time mechanic here. Figured I couldn't get into too much trouble mounting a strut bar so I bought the DC Sports version off eBay. Digested the instructions and dutifully went out and bought socket wrench set, torque wrench, jack and stands.

The work begins and immediate problems arise: No way to get the standard 3/8 wrench in to loosen the back nuts much less the torque wrench later! The stuff about raising the car seems to pertain to getting the nuts off the studs, but I can't even get to that issue. So... what now?

 

 

hey the nuts r 12mm lift the car up once u loosen the nuts push down on your tires and it should work thats how i did minepm me if u need more info

 

thats the hard way just take off the cowl and wipers makes it a world of differentice!!! lot of space just opens up when you remove those!!!

 

go to yoursciontc.com there is a diy guide on installing a strut bar with pics.

 

so you don't need to jack the car off the ground to get the bar on? are you supposed to leave the stock black spacer on underneath the bar brackets?

 

when i put my df210s in i just put the boxed end part of my wrench on the nut and put a cheeter pipe on and loosened it like that and then just used my fingers to take them of the rest of the way
