just a hunch...make sure the wiring harness strapped to the frame is not blocking the brace from it's rightful place on the right side....cut the tie straps and move the harness out of the way....let me know

I did cut the tie strap. But I will double check that.

I tried to use the stays and cinch it up. It didn't work. I really dont want to buy that tool unless I really need to. I will check with my local indy to see if he has one. I wonder what a dealer would charge to do it?

Mine was all jacked up and bent so I put my sears jack and a ratchet strap on it tight.Jack the jack a little at a time it will bend easily.Move strap wherever it needs to be bent back.After that just put brace on and tighten up alternating screws.I had to do this twice to get it straight
