Fitting Strut Brace

[hon_n_gem]

Hi, ive ordered my strut brace, and im getting it on tuesday. i was wondering if it was difficult to fit one onto my fr tdi? how would i go about fitting it? jus undo the bolts and replace with strut in place?

Thanks

on the tdi there is a box on the drivers side strut this nees moving by undoing the bolts that hold it in place. then undo two of the three strut bolts on either side place strutbrace inplace then put bolts back in then tighten and ideally check with a torque wrench

and watch out for the aircleaner lid, may need a piece of foam packing

how vital is a torque wrench? did have one but i misplaced it somewhere??

i havent used one personally as ive done them up fairly tight to what they seemed like to get off the first time
