Help installing CA Strut Tower Brace

I finally got my strut tower brace from Cobalt-Addiction and it came with no directions. I know its fairly self-explanitory but do I have to jack up the front end or just take out the bolts I need to put it in? Does anyone have a how to or can give me directions on how you put yours on? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

you may need to uncrew the bolt under the drivers wiper, it was in the way for my bar.
it you look straight past the fuse box, you'll you'll see it sticking out where the brace goes

For the DC Sports, the easiest way to install it is to jack up the front passanger side. Take off the nuts only on the passanger side strut tower. The Driver side just need to be loosened. With the car jacked up and the bolts off, you can easily move the bolts so that they will fit in the holes. You will need a torque wrench to properly re-install the nuts. I believe someone on this site over-torqued and broke theirs during install. It was a while back. I cannot find my instructions, so I am not sure on what to torque them to. Someone else on here should remember.

For yours, you probably still need to jack up the passanger side. And after looking at the CA design, you obviously will need to remove nuts on both strut towers.
