All GrimmSpeed products are intended for Off-Road use only.
Park your vehicle on a level surface. Fully engage the parking brake and put wheel stops on
the front and rear wheels to keep the vehicle from rolling. We recommend the use of antiĀseize on treads of all bolts, when reassembling. The master cylinder brace only fits left hand
drive vehicles.

2. Unclip fuel filter and move the filter out of the way. A couple temporary zip ties can be
used to hold it out of the way during the install. Later models can skip this step as the fuel
filter is not mounted here.
3. Unclip wiring harness clip that attaches to the metal wiring harness bracket.
4. Remove fuel filter bracket (earlier models) or fuel line bracket (later models) by removing
2 bolts. These holes will be reused to mount the brace. The wiring harness bracket can be
removed and will not be reused.
5. Later models have a secondary air injection pump that must be moved out of way to access
the bolt for the fuel holder. Remove the 2 bolts on the strut tower, the one bolt towards the
battery, the hose on top of pump, and the electrical connection. Then remove from car.
