Looking for a little help...
I bought a new Pierce 6 point brace and tried to install it over the weekend.
I lifted the car up and put it on ramps to load the suspension.
I removed the 6 bolts necessary, but when lining up the brace, I could not get the holes to align. I tried lifting the car off the ramps to unload the suspension but still couldn't get it to line up.
In the process, I managed to start cross threading one of the holes... The brace was close and I could get a bolt to start threading, but it must not have been lined up properly and I forced it.
I searched but couldn't find any information other than "sometimes the holes don't line up." Anyone have any advice on getting the brace to install?
I'm probably going to take the car to a shop and get it put on since I cross threaded a hole and need to get that fixed, but maybe this will help others in the future.
