Support the brace bar before removing its mounting hardware. Clean and inspect the threaded mounting point, brace-bar aperture and surrounding body structure. Start the replacement bolt by hand to prevent cross-threading, position the brace correctly and install all fasteners loosely before tightening them progressively using the applicable Mazda procedure. Confirm that the brace sits flat against every mounting point without distortion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Genuine Mazda","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57854456955262,"sku":"9946-61-225(x6)","price":21.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/8274\/9408\/files\/9946-61-225_x6_2.png?v=1786783223","url":"https:\/\/www.mazspec.co.uk\/products\/genuine-mazda-rear-subframe-brace-bar-mounting-bolt-6-pack-99466-1225","provider":"MazSpec","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
