Re: Front Swaybar
You need a floor jack
1 put end of jack on the two bolts under radaitor
2 take of front wheels jack up take off sway bar links from control arms on both sides
3 There is a hole in the bottom of control arm undo the bolt that hold the sub frame to body 17mm socket one on each side, back it off 10mm ,15mm it will fall out but leave in some
4 undo the two bolts on bracket holding back rubber bush Maybe after market red or yellow bush take the bracket wright off both sides this will let you crow bar the control arm down to
5 undo sway bar bushers backet 12mm this is not in a nice place, the bar will come out you have to play with it a bit Have some spare time Its not a rush job Its a bit like the old bull.Best of luck.

Gotta drop the subframe mate. The big ass bolt that goes up into the chassis just behind the strut.silverGPX wrote:f**k! why did i agree to do this again

Also remove the rear control arm mounting cap bolts, they form part of the subframe mounting as well.
