NEED HELP ASAP
So I got the 4 point BMR suspension front tower brace and I jacked up my car let the tires hang freely and couldn't get the this top rubber piece out so I could begin drilling. I called BMR and they told me to push down on the wheel. I pushed down and the spring popped out and also this little rubber piece... Any ideas how to fix all this and get the top part to come out??

It's probably just stuck on there from years of being there. Just whack it with a rubber mallet and it should pop off.

Is the spring still holding it up in there, or is the spring loose?

Yeah, like MP said. It's probably just stuck there from years of use. Pound on that biatch.

Nah, just make sure you don't smack the tower and put a dent in it.

I think you just have to muscle it back in there. I can't say that for sure, though. I've never had to put the stock stuff back in, just take it out.

Lol. Just tell her you're taking off the restrictor plate off to give the Red Dragon a little more juice. But it's not exactly street legal, so keep it on the down low.
