I entertained that idea, but decided to take the brace off. So, how did you do it?

Do you have to take wipers and wiper cowl off to remove strut brace or can you lift it and get to bolts?

This is a major project and yes and yes which I got creative and didn’t have to do.

Wipers off, cowl off, crossbrace off, battery cover off, yes, its a pain in the ass. How 'ol ice got it done without all that is an enigma.

The problem is that stud seems to like to interfere with slipping it past. I used a spackle knife to act as a guide and it went right down. Otherwise, that stud wanted to interfere with the hose braid.

You do not have to take the wipers, or cowl off. You can hold the cowl up with a piece of 2x4 or the like and get at the bolts with a ratcheting wrench. I made a post with pictures, I will look for it then link it for you.

Took 48 minutes to locate what thread I posted this in, but here you go.

Mine was built 10/7 and the line is installed properly. Just wanted to follow-up because I said I would.

There needs to be a plaque underneath the one for the engine builder that denotes the engine installer whose job it is to ensure that the coolant hoses are all seated properly.

Brilliant idea!

We rolled together from start to finish; anxious to see if mine is correct as well.

They seem to be hit and miss.

“Installer” is the right word. Its not the engine builder. I think when they bring the engine up into the car (from underneath), that hose needs to be held in the proper place to keep it from hanging up on that stud sticking out. That seems to be a production line issue...

I completely agree. From a component perspective, I find the quality is quite good.
