I forgot it even had a step in there about it. I sure didn't and they've been working fine well over a year now.

no need to..be very careful when removing the 2 screws per each side...you don't want them falling into the empty cavity of the car...

I didn't disconnect my battery when I installed mine.

Take hawaiiguy's advice to heart. Be very careful not to let those nuts fall or you may never see them.

I dropped a nut into the abyss.... I did recover it with a magnetic pickup. It's best not to drop one in the first place.

And no, no battery disconnect necessary.
