Unscrew the 2 outer bolts on each tower. Put the right side on first. Then try to fit the left on. If the left side doesn't just drop on, jack up the car just a little (enough to stretch out the springs) and try to get it to fit on. It eventually will fall on. Put the nuts back on and torque them to 33 ft-lbs (just make them tight)
That's basically what the sheet says.

Rep Power: 0 um, it's about as basic as it gets, you couldn't figure it out just by looking at it?? unscrew nuts from strut towers, put bar on bolts at each end, replace nuts. that's about the easiest install you could do.

Rep Power: 367 well if he has a 5spd he'll need to move the clutch fluid or relocate it...
they come with a nut so you can relocate it.. but its kinda tough cuz you'll have to reach through the fenderwell...

There's 3 bolts on each strut tower. And its very stimple. Unsrcrew all 6 bolts, put the par in place, put the bolts back on, take it out for a test drive.
