OK, this might sound stupid. I changed the oil filter the other day. Managed to open everything but when I was fastening the front sturt, it just won't lock like it will fasten, then loose again and again. Checked the screws, turned out they're off.

The problem is right now, I can't find the parts number for the screws + washers. I have looked it up on the catalogue parts and a japanese website which got a s8 catalogue still no luck.
Was wondering if any of you can help me....

Here's a pic of the screws and washers that I'm talking about.

 

1. Why did you remove the shock tower brace to change the oil filter???

2. You have to hold the nut while you are tightening the bolt (or vice-versa).

 

 

1.Yes, I know one side has to be hold to get the other side tighten. I'm not that dumb to know that.

2. I had to remove the sturt bar because it gave me more space to work with these big hands.

 

The washer is 99952-1000, the nut is 9WEB0-1000, and the bolt is FD03-56-491.

Good find Dave....what section of the parts catalog is the shock tower brace under...I couldn't find it.

 

I just looked it up in the index - found it under "bar, strut".

Thanks Dave. Got the dealer to ordered it for me. Can't believe they're AU$40.00!!! for a set.
I'll try to open the catalogue .pdf file again tonight and see if I can find it under "sturt,bar"
