    I want to temporarily remove the shock tower supports (from the cowel to the shock tower) for painting. Typically is there any risk that anything might shift, making it hard to realign them with the bolt holes when I reinstall them? Thanks.

    :huh:

    Not a problem -- Had mine of many times, no issue reinstalling them.

    Yeah, they're not exactly precision fit parts.

    It's the kind of component that one uses a prybar and/or hammer to correct any fitment issues... :yup:
