Pull the seat belt to slack and work on removing the star washer lock as pointed.http://i783.photobucket.com/albums/y...ps288ec272.jpg
Use something heavy to hit the bolt to lodge the star washer off if it's stubborn. (Sometimes it can just spin right off)
Be careful when removing the bolt off as there are plenty of washers. Keep them in order.

Feedback: I have TEIN FLEX coilovers with EDFC, front and rear Eibach sway bars with a Robispec harness bar. But when I took the car out for a ride after the GT SPEC REAR STRUT CROSS BRACE install, the immediate factor and difference was steering response. It stiffens out the chassis. I wasn't expecting a big difference but it was definitely there. The steering response was on point! For all you precision drivers that loves handling; you need to purchase these. As for the people looking for aftermarket strut/harness bars; you can kill 2 birds with one stone by picking this up. Its safe to mount your racing harness on the cross brace for it is strong, sturdy, and definitely a chassis stiffener.

Finally, I real review, and good job taking 500 pics.
It's because of reviews/install pics like these that makes DIYs easy

Sorry, but I am going to copy your car, mod for mod, just too damn sexy. Although I have Magma Red, I'm not sure it'll look as good.
