When I was trying to measure the bushing it was really easy to get the bolt out, but you have to apply a lot of torque to get the bolt initially free, something like 150 ft-lbs, after that first initial crack, they can be loosened with your fingers.

as for the shaving down part, look on the left side of the picture and a little bit upwards oil filter access

I think that even if you have a small filter, in order to take it out, when u unscrew it it comes down a lot... so the bar might get in your way anyways...
I'm buying this bar really soon also it will suffer a lot with my TEIN S-TECHS

Installing it

Hey i know this might be a long shot, but i was wondering when you installed it to the frame where your bolts short? my stock bolts wont bolt to it because they are small. did you use other bolts to connect to the frame. The back part of the brace.

thank you

Link us to a proper H Brace, and it is confirmed that it will not work with OBX Header/downpipe?

It looks great. It looks like mine, but I was wondering if you had to buy new bolts because they weren't long
Enough.
