[Shotimes] Strut tower braces

[DTNesbit@FTC-I.net]

Okay I cannot access the archives so I must post this question.

    When installing strut tower braces can I just remove the three nuts on the
strut tower in order to get the mounting plate on with no adverse affects?  Do
the wheels need to be off the ground or is it OK to have the car's weight on
them?
     Sorry if this sounds like stupid questions, but if I don't know I can
screw up lots of things. I'm really good at screwing up stuff.
TIA
