Default strut tower brace install
How do you move the brake lines in order to fit this? They seem like they would break easy. I bought the bmr brace. The directions say to move them a bit. any help would be great, or pics. thanks Jeff

Totally lost as to why the brake lines would need to go anywhere......

Just hold them out of the way, while you slip the brace under the brake lines..... and BTW, install the driver's side of the brace first.

Don't over think it, it's not a difficult mod.

I barely had to move them when i put mine in.. just be gentle and you should have no problem at all. Really not an issue.
