Default Motordyne Install Help Needed

I just completed the spacer install and now it is time to put the strut bar back on. With the spacers that are necessary I can't get the holes lined up correctly to mount it.

Which of the 3 nuts are you suppose to loosen?

Should I be pulling the wrench towards me or away from me to loosen it?

Everything you need(info.) is in the directions.. It sounds like you didn't loosen the Strut bar adjustment nut before unbolting it. If you didn't do this the strut bar would prob. seem to short and wouldn't line up w/ the holes...loosen the adjustment nut the recommended turns in the directions..I think it was 1 1/2 or so.

So the adjustment nut is the one in the middle? Yeah the righty tighty helps but should the adjustment nut move to the driver side or passenger side when loosening?

Thanks for the help?

I believe left will bring it closer together and right will push it apart. If that makes sense.

you get used to doing it a few times it will be pretty easy.
