NEUSPEED UPPER FRONT STRUT BAR INSTALL HELP!
I wanted to install a Neuspeed upper front strut bar for my 2k1 civic but need some detailed help. I looked at the instructions and what I thought was gonna be easy kinda threw me off. Can anyone help me out with a detailed explanation for this?
Thanks!

Rep Power: 0 dont worry about the instructions....if ur not sure which bolts just put the strut bar upto it and you'll see which bolts to remove,,,you remove the 2 outside bolts on each side,,,put one side of the strut bar on and on the other side u may have to pull and tug a little but once you have it lined up with the bolts unless u have a deadblow(rubber mallet) just use the palm of ur hand and hit it a couple times,,,u shouldn't need to jack it up,,,and make sure ur wheels are straight....

Rep Power: 0 In the box came with four caps and a lug nut. The instructions say tighten something with it like the clutch or something. Can someone let me know more of a detailed info. Thanks to the peepz who left the info!
Anyone interested in buying a new OBX upper front strut bar? I bought it originally for this car but b/c of my AEM CAI it doesn't fit. If you have no intake, an injen one, or an intake that doesn't bulge out this will fit your car.. Let me know..

Rep Power: 0 the 4 caps just snap over where the holes are just to give it a clean look .... I didnt use the nut, it is to relocate the clutch fluid holder, all I did is loosen it and tilt it to the front of the car a little so it didnt hit the strut bar..... also you will need a torque wrench and torque it to 33lbs

Rep Power: 0 Where is the clutch fluid holder located? If I were to use the nut to relocate it where am I suppose to put it? Also I don't have a torque wrench so if I was using a regular one how tight would I have to tighten it?

Rep Power: 0 Okay that takes care of the tightening question but how about the clutch holder? Shouldn't I use the nut supplied to the clutch holder? Please advise anyone..
Thanks

Rep Power: 0 Sure you can try, I used the existing one cause I couldn't get the one they gave me to fit. The best way to move your clutch resevoir it to jack up your driverside and then put your hand under the wheel well and feel your way in and tighten the resevoir.

Rep Power: 0 Okay, I'm feeling really stupid and this shouldn't be so damn hard and complex. Thanks to the peep'z who has helped so far but I just need a detailed explanation on this all... Just want to make double sure on what I'm doing instead of doing what I'm unsure of..
