Neither, a strut tower bar is to be unloaded like a sway bar. You should simply be able to undo the strut bolts and remove with minimal hassle. You're otherwise loading the strut top bolts diagonally which they aren't designed for. The stiffness comes once tightened.

Its a remove bar job to access factory air box. 6 bolts and she's off.
