1) PREPARING YOUR VEHICLE
Begin by disconnecting your battery prior to starting
your installation.
Inspect your vehicle for leaking fuel lines, fuel tank
and engine components. If you have fuel leaks
repair all leaks prior to starting your installation. If
your fuel tank is near your welding area remove
your tank prior to welding.
Remove all combustible items above the work area
such as seats, carpets, padding, etc.
Keep all flammable materials away from the
vehicle work area.
2) PREPARING YOUR WORKSTATION
Keep a fire extinguisher and water close by in the
case of fire and make sure you always have a
designated “Fire Watch” to assist during the cutting
or welding phases.
Abide by all apprenticed welding safety standards
and practices.
Always use appropriate welding eye protection, ear
protection, and work and fire safety gloves during
the installation and within the work area.
WARNING!
If you are unsure on how to perform the installation
or how to operate any of the required tools listed
above, it is HIGHLY advised that you enlist the work
of a certified welder/installer.
Failure to follow proper safety precautions and
instructions may result in serious injury. The user
assumes all liability when installing the product.

3) PREPARING FOR YOUR INSTALL
On the driver’s side, with a 13mm socket, remove
the two bolts securing the e-break bracket and push
it out of the way. The passenger side has no
obstacles.
Place a jack or jack stand slightly below the
transmission’s crossmember, and begin removing
the 2 bolts with a 15mm socket. The transmission
will fall.
Prepare your weld zone by scoring or grinding away
any rust and debris.
4) INSTALL
With the side’s respective part, place it up to the
body, under the crossmember, and line up the
frame holes.
With the help of a friend or a jack, hold the part into
place and begin c-clamping it to the rail, away from
the bend point.
With another jack, press against the part at the
bend point, ensuring the steel conforms to the
shape of the rail.

C-clamp the part at this point. Continue to shape
the part as needed, while adjusting clap points until
there are no gaps.
Slide the stiffener into place, ensuring that it passes
underneath the break line and fender bracket.
Ensure all the frame holes line up, there are no
gaps, and c-clamp it into place.
5) WELD
Utilizing proper safety precautions and welding
techniques, tack weld the part into place, remove
the C-clamps, and completely weld around all edges
and through all stitch weld slots.
Repeat on the opposite side.
6) PAINT AND PROTECT
Coat the part and work area with a primer or other
rust inhibitor to help prevent or reduce the risk of
rust formation.…

Reinstall your transmission crossmember.
Reinstall your e-break bracket.
