Front Strut Tower Brace Installation
1. Place the car on a level surface with the wheels straight.
2. Using the 15mm deep socket, remove all three nuts from the strut bolts on both strut towers.
3. Move the wire loom aside on the passenger side of the car and slide the mounting bracket over the studs. Install the
passenger side bracket as well. Do not tighten nuts more than finger tight.
4. Thread both rod-eyes into the main BMR strut tube until the width of the holes matches the mounting bracket holes.
Insert the supplied Allen bolts into both holes with the Allen head facing the front of the vehicle. Thread the lock nuts
onto both Allen bolts.
5. Once all pieces are assembled, tighten the strut mounting nuts to 30 ft/lbs. Tighten the strut tube mounting bolts using
the 3/8“ Allen wrench and a 3/4“ wrench. Using the 1” wrench to hold the strut tube, tighten both rod-eye jam nuts
using the 1-1/8” wrench or a large crescent wrench.

thread the mounting nuts on but do not tighten.
