It's just straight foward. Unbolt the two mounting bolts and bolt it back on. Then adjust the stopper.

Interesting... How did he use an EG/DC brace on an EK? Are those top holes even threaded?

if u look at your drivers side shock tower, you will see the holes.. they have little plastic grommets in them. which is what eg/dc upper control arms would connect to. he simply put and nut and bolt through.

Apparently the firewall flexes under heavy braking - this brace eliminates that
