Front strut brace on EG HATCH.....

[raff]

hey guys,
i just bought front and rear upper strut braces for my EG hatch and i jus tried gettin the front one on and the AC piping is in the way on one side........wat do i do???

by the way the strut brace were on an EK sedan....is there any problems with the fit?

[Rowie]

thats a very common problem... I have an ED, and had the same problem. I had to relocate the piping by twising it, and relocating the mounting brackets. But be very careful not to pull the pipe out of the socket, otherwise all your gas will leak out like it did on mine hahaha. Probably best to get someone that knows what they are doing to fix it up.

kool...thanx

and there should b no problem with the fit?

[Rowie]

what brand strut brace is it?

shouldnt have any problems, just some small adjusting needed.

sicne the AC piping is metal tube - u can *slowly* pull it out without tearing etc - the only part i can think of *top of my head* is a small 8mm / phillips head bolt...

10mm bolts...

Depending on the brace, I had to un-do one A/C line clip/brackets andd then it JUST pushes out of the way.. but be carefull you dont kink your AC line !!
