9. (1) 3/8-24 Nylok Nut
10. (2) 3/8 Flat Washer
Equipment needed:
1. Assorted sockets and wrenches
2. +,- Screwdriver
3. Assorted pliers
WARNING:
IF YOU ARE NOT EXPERIENCED IN THE AREA OF
AUTOMOTIVE MECHANICS WE STRONGLY URGE THAT
YOU REFER THIS INSTALLATION TO YOUR MECHANIC.
Installation:
1. Insure that you have the correct kit prior to installation.
2. Read directions completely and review supplied diagram before starting.
3. Disconnect ground side cable on battery.
4. Remove Power Steering Reservoir from its mounting bracket using a flat head screwdriver. It is not necessary to disconnect any lines, just manipulate reservoir out of the way to allow access to the passenger side frame rail.
5. On frame rail (passenger side) under power steering reservoir locate two 8mm and one 6mm bolts that secure two brackets to the frame rail and set bolts aside, new fasteners are provided. Also at this time cut ties holding wire looms to front of inner fender and push looms out of the way for better access.
6. Locate ground strap mounted to passenger side of Timing Chain Cover (TCC) and remove (this is where one end of engine dampener will mount). Re-locate ground wire to location above where gold coolant hose bracket mounts to engine, use OEM bolt. (fig 1)
7. Below ground strap is the Power Steering pump bracket, remove bolt securing Power Steering Pump bracket to TCC, install bracket “A” over pump bracket and re-install bolt loosely. (see diagram)
8. On frame rail, using supplied 8 and 6mm fasteners mount bracket “B” in location of removed bolts on top of existing brackets. (see diagram and fig. 2)
9. Mount Dampener’s non-adjustable end to Bracket “B” with 3/8 SHCS, washers and Nylok nut. (fig.3)
10. Align mounting hole in Dampener and mounting hole in TCC by Adjusting end of Dampener, it is critical to get this alignment correct to ensure the bolt doesn’t cross thread during installation. Install M8 x 35mm bolt and lock washer through bracket “A” then dampener into TCC and tighten both bolts. (fig.4 and diagram)
11. Make sure all bolts are securely fastened, and replace reservoir.
12. You are now finished with the installation, and can now enjoy the benefits of the Stillen Engine Dampener.

I hope you don't mind me jumping in here, but i have installed the stillen dampener a few months back and found it to be not that bad of an install
I would suggest pulling the radiator overflow take and pushing out of the way while you work on intalling the brackets, (don't need to disconnect the tank just move it out of the way). the only thing that might give you a little trouble is the "S" shaped bracket that attaches to the TCC
I found simple trick to mount this to get the screw to align correctly, take two pliers or vice grips an each end of ther clamp and bend them out (slightly) so as to straighten the length of the clamp.
this will allow the holes on each end of the clamp to align correctly with the holes in the TCC and the new dampener, so the screws do not strip, I think once you have it in front of you you will see what I mean.
if you try to force the screw into the bracket,dampener, and TCC it may be crooked and would start to crossthread, I noticed this right off when I started installing. by using the method I described the holes should line up perfectly.
(now some people have recieved their brackets that line up perfectly, so it all depends on what you get)
