You just gotta break the 3 bolts on each strut tower loose, thats it. Spray em' with rust buster the night before if your car is a bit older. I have the PILOT front, rear and rear lower bar and am very happy. Nice handling improvement ;)

Don't "break" the bolts. loosen them by turning counter-clockwise, really hard. use a socket/rachet maybe even a wrench.
