[. . . ] A Part Number: Description: U T O T E C H Installation Instructions 10. 430. 217K - 218K ClubSport® Upper Stressbar for Golf 4 and Jetta 4 incl. six 5/16" AN nylock nuts www. autotech. com TOOLS REQUIRED: 1. 3/16" & 5/16" drill bits 3. [. . . ] With the bar on the vehicle, use a scribe or awl to mark the three hole locations in each tower (fig 2). Note that you will use only three of the six holes available in each ring. Use the guide below-right for hole locations to use. Be sure to re-check the marks, then remove the stressbar. (cont >) fig 2 Holes to use: fig 1 right side left side front of car 32240-E Paseo Adelanto, San Juan Capistrano, CA 92675 Phone 949. 240. 4000 Fax 949. 240. 0450 fig 4 fig 5 3 Remove the top strut nut so as to allow the strut to `fall' away from the strut tower as the car is lifted (fig 4). This will allow easier access beneath the towers when attaching the stressbar. This will not affect your front end alignment settings. Jack up the car and place it on jackstands so that the front wheels are off the ground. Using first the 3/16" bit, drill the six pilot holes in the towers. Then, using the 5/16" bit, enlarge the holes to their final size (fig 5). There might be some body sealing adhesive that partially covers these holes. If there is, it can be cut or pulled out of the way. Unbolt each strut ring from the stressbar crosstube. Using the six 5/16" AN bolts, the twelve AN washers, and six 5/16" AN nylock nuts, attach each strut ring to its tower, using a washer under the bolt head and under each nut. [. . . ] Now, adjust the crosstube's length so that the bolt inserts straight through the strut ring and rod end holes (fig 8). fig 9 1 Using a 9/16" wrench, "snug" the jam nut against the crosstube (fig 9). Now, using 9/16" wrenches, tighten both 3/8" AN bolts and nuts that hold the crosstube to the rings. [. . . ]
