what up guys,

quick question, how the hell did you guys take out the stock strut bar, that mofo is hard, like 40lbs + of torque.
thanks

You're not supposed to remove the strut to install a strut brace... you're supposed to only remove the top strut mount bolts (NOT the center strut nut)... and if you can't get those off, use a breaker bar.

40lbs is not much, your lugs on the wheels are at 76 and those come off really easy. Maybe they are just loc tited, lol. Or maybe someone didn't tighten to specs? Or breaker bar like everyone else said.
