Installing front springs Got the rears in no problem now im on the front and kinda stuck, i cant get to the last strut tower bolt thats a torx and hides behind the brake reservoir, i loosened the reservoir and it wont move enough to let me get at the bolt. What can i do to get out the bolt? after i get it i can finish it up pretty quick. BTW im installing sportlines and the rear looks awesome.

Re: Installing front springs the way I get it is take the torx bit out of the socket its in and just use the bit only and find a "gear wrench" (skinny box wrench tha ratchets you can buy at sears) that fits the torx bit and put the wrench on the torx bit (check direction of wrench on or off) slide the wrench with the torx bit in it under the master cylinder and place the bit in the torx bolt and take it out
Re: Installing front springs Vipers right,
Just pull it forward gently and it will come off the studs on the brake booster, scoot it sideways and remove the bolts with a torx bit and a 3/8 drive ratchet. That is how mine came apart. And (thanks to Mitchintx) you should swap the torx bolts from the drivers side to the passengers side and use 2 of the regular bolts from the passengers side (that can be removed with a wrench) when you reassemble....Mitch is brilliant....Good luck!
