BMR Suspension STB013 - Manual

2 POINT STRUT TOWER BRACE
STB013 – 2010 Camaro
RECOMMENDED TOOLS:
Hydraulic Jack and stands
Sockets: 22mm, 24mm, ½” deep
Wrenches: ½”, 9/16”
Drill with 5/16” drill bit
NOTE: While this installation does require separating the upper strut mount from the body, the strut mount is self-aligning and there
is no need for a wheel alignment after the installation. Additionally the strut and spring remain assembled so there is no need for a
spring compressor or any other specialty tools typically needed for strut removal.
INSTALLATION:
1. Using a 24mm socket, remove the nut and strut retainers located on the strut towers. See Image 1 and 2. NOTE: this nut
does not retain the spring and can be removed without the risk of
2. Lift the front of the vehicle and allow the wheels to hang freely. Support the vehicle on jack stands. The struts should “pop”
out of the strut tower, allowing sufficient workspace to modify the strut towers. NOTE: if the struts do not fall out of the
tower, pull down on the wheel/tire until the strut assembly falls down. See Image 3.
3. Position the strut tower brace onto the strut towers, centering the circular rings of the BMR brace to the top of the strut towers
on the car. Clamp the brace into place using vise grips or c-clamps. See Image 4.
4. Using a 5/16” drill bit, drill all (8) holes using the brace itself as a drill guide.
5. Remove the brace and de-burr the mounting holes.
