need some help rear sway bar
hey guys,
i'm trying to install a rear sway bar but it is really hard for me to take off the stock one. the nut connected to the sway bar on the endlink is driving me crazy
i almost got it off but its really hard unscrewing the last 1/4 of it. i've been using penetrating oil regularly and still hard. forearms are killing me
so i'm asking if you guys have any tips or anything... i'm about to give up.. i still got the other side to do..

Use alot of wd-40 and try to get as much leverage as you can w/o stripping the bolts. It's a bitch but it will come off with a lil sweat. The passenger side was the biggest challenge but once its off you'll probably never have to change it again.

The only reason I say that is because you have to turn it the other way like away from you because of where its located. It's not a big deal man you can do it. What my friend and I did for that side was angle the wrench down and pop the nut loose with pressure from my foot while we used a clamp to hold the other nut from spinning.. I think you'll know what im talking about.
