Tips: This install guide demonstrates installation of the AC line sheath and securing

method last. Installing these first may leave some extra working room if you need
additional space to work.

Procedure:

Place Strut Brace

Remove 12mm nuts

1. Begin by collecting your tools and popping your hood. This’ll be quick!

2. Now, remove your driver’s side triangulation bar nuts using a 12mm wrench.

You’ll remove two (2) nuts on the driver’s side strut tower. Set these aside,
you’ll need them again in just a minute. Repeat on passenger side.

3. Next, simply place your GrimmSpeed strut tower brace into place. It may

help to know that the logo is on the passenger side, but the brace will only fit
on one way.
