Before removing the front anti roll bar bracket bolts, we highly
recommend you remove the four steering rack bolts. Not required but if
the sub-frame is pulled down with the rack still attached, this may pop the

consuming but so is reinstalling the grommet – you choose! Use a torx (E
12) socket or wrench.

pulling on firewall grommet.

the left-front suspension. Disconnect the connector before step 7**

for more room to remove the bar. You can prop the end down using a piece of
wood. Only a few inches are needed. Then, remove the four bushing bracket
bolts using the 18mm wrench. These are long bolts and take great pressure
to break free.
