Has anyone removed the strut brace over the intake in the enginge bay? Was it difficult to do? Any tips/tricks to it?
Thanks :)

Very easy only 4 bolts I think they are 18mm and the Torque spec is 70Ft.lbs

Got it done yesterday, I removed it so I could also paint it. Very easy as stated by other members, thanks again :) (18mm deep well socket, 6in 3/8 extension)

I do have a spare crossbar if anyone needs it (FREE).
It is a replacement from the dealer and looks like hell (not well rounded), but, I used it during the 60 days when my original was being chrome plated.

I'll take it if it's free. i want to get mine powder coated, but wasn't sure if the car was driveable without the strut bar. i'll send oyu a PM.
