What you need to know????
I have one installed.

1. Have the car cool, and on a level ground.
2. [Optional] take the fan near the battery out. You can unplug it, and then take the bolts off.
3. Take the top bolt off on the OEM one, which should be 12mm-14mm.
4. Then move on to the bolts on the frame, there are 2.
5. Remove those, i think those are 14mm-16mm.
6. Slide the OEM off.
7. Take the bolt and nut off that holds the OEM on the bracket on the frame.
8.[Optional] You can put some washers to swandwich the torque rod between the bracket.
9. Bolt the torque rod on the bracket.
10. Loosen the bolt on the bottom of the torque rod, so you can adjust it to the stock location.
11. Slide the poly bushin' on.
12. Slide the torque rod and bracket on the the car.
13. Then bolt down the torque rod bracket to the frame.
14. Slide the poly bushin' on top, and then tigthen the top bolt down.
**15. If you took the fan off, put it back in a plug it back in too.

Hope this helps.
Let me know if you need anymore help.
