The rearmost end has a stud and a nut, the front end has a long bolt. Remove them both – and lift the torque strut off of the stud, and the whole thing easily lifts out.

Where to find torque specs for struts?
2. Shouldn’t we re-torque the top 3 nuts to 59 ft lbs after the car is lowered to the ground? Since the nuts will carry the weight of the car, after it is lowered, the torque might be less than 59? 3. Similarly for the end links, we should just torque it to something like 15 ft lbs. Then at the end, drive it up a ramp and torque it to 29, correct?
