Hello All,

I'm looking to remove the Strut Tower Bar on my car. I actually purchased it with it installed. It looks like there are two simple nuts that removes the bar. Those nuts also look like they hold the suspension in place.

If I loosen these to remove my STB will it effect my suspension? I know it's highly sprung, but I'm hoping the car's weight will hold it down. What about the alignment?

Thanks,
Kai

No.

Unbolt, remove, re-bolt and torque to 36 ft/lbs. The weight of the car will keep the suspension from moving around.

^That'll do it.

Most strut bars recommending getting the front wheels off the ground before installing. I'd assume you'd want to do that again when removing and retourqing.

Huh? Not any tower bar I ever installed. What's the rational for getting the car in the air?

Depends on the type.

If it's a new Comptech, you'll have to raise at least one side so the suspension can lower out of the bar. It may be able to be forced, but I wouldn't as it may gall the threads.

Jacking up one corner with the stock Honda jack is simple. The suspension can be pushed down very easily with the car raised, and will come back up on it's own.
