It's not welded on, since I've seen many Si's without those bolts. But, you'll have to get it out from after removing the tires and from the wheel well.

Just locate another one of those bolts and use the nut to draw it in.

What are you trying to say here?

You're running two front strut bars?

Stop trying to run two strut bars.

That's why you're breaking parts.

It's your car's way of trying to tell you something.

It is welded on. So you must hammer it out.

Dude, stop with the 2 strut bars already. Way overkill. It's not like the front tub of the R is some sloppy, flimsy piece of **** that going to flex all over the place.
