1.) Put the car on ramps/stands,
2.) Remove all intake piping , and strut bar.
3.) On the fire wall look for a plastic cover over the main harness. There are 2 10mm nuts, one on top the other on the bottom (this one is a bitch to remove), remove the plastic sheild .
4.) Now the fun begins, you need a 17mm swivil socket and lots of extensions (2 10" extensions). find the 3 nuts on the back of the bracket, place the socket on the 17 mm nuts and break them free . This will take some effort to do, once they are all loose remove the nuts.
5.) Now go under the car. Find the bracket. To loosen the bolt that goes through the bushing you will need an impact wrench as you cant enough pull to undo the bolt, its a tight fit but it can be done. Just loosen the bolt, there are a couple of bolts that have to be removed from the lower bracket as well, Once these bolts are out and the lower bracket is loose, you can undo the bushing bolt.
6.) Remove the lower bracket, then undo the 3 top bolts. Now take out the top bracket from underneath, you will have to wriggle it around to get it out.
7.) Now fit the AWR bracket on the 3 nuts, again its a tight fit but it will go. Put the nuts on and tighten hand tight.
8.) Install the lower bracket and tighten up. This is were you need a couple of people to pull the engine foward so you can install the bushing bolt, you cant do this alone. Install the bolt, tighten it up.
9.) Now tighten all the bolts and nuts up. Reinstall the plastic sheild, and use the top nut on the reinstall, the bottom is a bitch to get on.
