you have innovative mounts? that rear mount is easier to install then the Hasport because it has a cut out for the back bolt and you can thread it in then slide the mount on. you are going to need a ratcheting wrench to tighten the back bolt.

Aw hit it wit ya purse. Sorry the Title just made it sound like you were to weak to screw it down.. lol On to the serious side. As stated before you gota do it by feel kinda but make sure its torqued to spec otherwise you might have some problems.

I've got a set of the swivel ratcheting wrenches. When things are tight they are a godsend!

planning on going rock crawling? 17's, most likely going to get frowned upon, as they almost always look like poo on an EF.
