H5 Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Yes it is under tension, and weighs more than you'd think. Loosen it a tad before undoing the bolts. Undo them evenly to release the tension across the area of the mount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkie34 Posted June 10, 2008 Author Share Posted June 10, 2008 How did you do it without taking the brace off.One of the bolts is under it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beavis Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 How did you do it without taking the brace off.One of the bolts is under it. Removed mine too without removing strut brace to fit grounding kit. Just used a ring/open ended spanner IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
