Trouble installing Neuspeed Strut tower bar on my 7.5gen

I'll paypal you $20 if you do it and post the video.

[MyNameIsThien]

Pay me $20 and I'll do it.

I was gonna pay Julie to salsa dance with a hammer.

It would have comical value I'd contribute a couple of $ for that.

I just used my weight to push it on. I semi bolted on one side, got to the other and pushed the bar towards the opposite side and it slipped on in a matter of seconds.

Ok I had two other guys try helping me attempt this install yesterday for the third time/day and still no luck!. We jacked one side the car up and removed the tire and moved the brake assembly area to hope the studs would budge and even used the rubber mallet...Pushed the bar opposite way and all that you all mentioned. It didn't work! Used a huge chuck of wood also. Only thing we didn't have to use is the dead bar hammer. Or we're not doin something right! This is such a pain in the as and frustrating for something that shouldn't take longer than 20 mins to install. I never had this problem with my other cars I've owned. My friends that helped me said the same thing. What to do now?

Julie the key might be to Jack the car in the middle as opposed to on one side. This way the weight of the car is focused in the middle causing the chassis to flex as far as it can. This should cause enough flexion to get the bar over the studs.

Did that already mike. I did that the second day I tried.
We were thinkn if we would have to unmount the coilovers from the brake assembly so that it'd be easier to move but would be a hassle to mount back on once strut bar is installed without proper power tools.

You should be able to get it on without doing any of that stuff.  It's too much of a pain in the ass to have to try and bolt everything back on with the STB on.

The way I heard of installing it was to remove the bolts on top of your shocks under the hood, lift up one side of the car, while someone tugs the wheels towards them out, someone else tries to put it on.

[Mike]

Has you car ever been into a front end collision.

[JulsV6]

Nope- neva been in collision.

[Mike]

Hmmm... I' quite stumped on this one. Bring it by Pauls and have him give it a try your in that area if I'm not mistaken.

[JulsV6]

About an hour drive. I'll check with him n mayb have him install my tl-s front swaybar while at it. We'll see.

[NVA-AV6]

Nuespeed strut bar= 5mins
Front sway=3-4 hours.
