Be careful tightening strut tower nuts for strut tower bar!
This morning while tightening the nuts on the strut tower bolts, I got a little too much on it and snapped one in half. Bad news I find out is that these are not removable - they are welded on the underside of the strut tower.
<sidebar> I'd never had to remove my spring/strut before, and it wasn't too bad once I figured it out </sidebar>
Long story short, I had to drill out the old bolt, replace with an 8mm bolt from NAPA (and use JD WELD epoxy to keep it in place) in order to fix this. Pain in the ***.
