    yeah dont snap any and do it when the wheels are on the ground
    also u might need to move the fuel cut off switch e tech brace is the only 1 you dont need to i think

    its not just me that found it easy to snap them bolts. feck there fecking crap!

    snapped one last month needed new top mount then set me back £60 for it all done

    fuel cut off might need moving depending on strut brace so unbolt that twist it round a bit and then tie wrap it again
