Front strut tower removal?

[ekvtir90]

I've looked everywhere to find information but I can't find any info, is the front strut tower removable on a vtir ? I tried removing one with rachet and the nut broke off? Help would be appreciated thanks.

yeah tower strut can be removed.. but did the actual lock nut break or the bolt thread? because one of my mate has one of his bolt thread broken off on the oem tower strut and he's managed to take it off and put in a 3 point strut. also try unbolting everything all the bolts off then hit the strut upwards with a rubber hammer but be gentle with it

The bolt thread came off with the bolt head so the thread is sill In the hole maybe its welded on?

put up some photos how it looks cause i'm painting a weird picture in my mind how this is looking.

yes the bolts are tack welded to the under side of the guard. you can see this for your self.
and yes you can remove the stock front strut bar, just remove the nuts and your done.
