After this, unscrew the strut rod-to-axle carrier bolt and then also contract the strut rod-to-body bracket to remove the rod from the vehicle. In the process of removing the strut bolt it may be required that the parking brake cable bracket be detached. During installation reverse the sequence of removal and always tighten the bolts to the prescribed torque.
