You definitely don't have to be a fat monkey to swap out this lift brace. I just went to You Tube to see if deleting a clip is easy. It did, and I was able to replace mine with a 2010 Audi S4 in less than 5 minutes. I would recommend that you hang the metal brackets on the OLD lift prop. Just in case you need a replacement part. I've had it installed for a few months now with no problems. You will not be disappointed with this product.
