Skip to Step 6 if your car does not have OE battery blanket as shown

Use a flathead screw driver to pop off the plastic top on left sided j-hook

Use 10mm deep socket and ratchet to remove the 2x 10mm nuts on the j-hooks

Set tie down and j-hooks aside for reinstallation later

Use 10mm deep socket and ratchet to loosen the10mm nut on top of negative battery terminal and pull off the terminal

Set terminal end aside. You now have total access to top of battery

Unfold the top of the battery blanket to expose the 4x sides of the battery blanket

One at a time fold each side of the battery blanket inside towards the battery as shown

Reinstall negative battery terminal and torque to snug

"torque to snug" is defined as 1/4 to 1/2 more rotation after setting resistance is felt

Reinstall j-hooks and torque the 10mm nuts until slight resistance is felt and the battery tie down will not slide around. Pop the black plastic tab back onto the left sided j-hook

Locate the strut tower tops in the engine bay

Shown are the passenger and driver side strut tower tops

If you have an aftermarket suspension that could move when undone, be sure to note where it is located prior to the removal of the hardware. Failure to do so could change the alignment of your vehicle when reinstalling the strut hardware

Remove three (3) flange nuts with a 14mm deep socket and ratchet wrench from the passenger side

Remove three (3) flange nuts with a 14mm deep socket and ratchet wrench from the driver side

Clean any debris from the strut top surfaces

Orientate the strut bar as shown

Place each end of the strut bar down on the strut tops over the studs

The strut bar sits very close to the battery cable, please verify the cables are not pushing up into the strut bar

If the cables are pushing into the strut bar, adjust the cables by flexing them toward the front of the car a bit to create clearance

The battery cables are insulated and protected by a plastic jacket but minimizing contact with the bar is preferred

Install the three (3) OEM flange nuts

Using a torque wrench and 14mm socket, torque each nut to 53-55 lb-ft

With the FSTB installed in the car, the FSTB will contact the vaccum hose shown

To stop the hose from rubbing on the FSTB during engine movement, the hose must be zip tied to the adjacent hose with the provided zip tie

Push down on the vaccum hose and loosely zip tie it to the adjacent hose

Be careful not to over tighten the zip tie as this could damage the hoses

Cut the excess zip tie with wire cutters or scissors

Note the Brake Reservoir will be very close to the tabs, this is expected

The tabs are present to allow for the possible future release of a compatible brake brace.

This completes the installation of your 27WON Performance Front Strut Tower Bar
