The weather seems like it is finally going to cooperate with me tomorrow. I am planning on taking off my rear sway bar. Any tips or tricks to making the job a little easier?

I know the bolts are going to be a pain and take lots of PB blaster to get off there. I still don't have a propane torch so that's out for now.

Any tips are helpful!

I also plan on swapping my drivers seat with the passenger seat (drivers side has the well known sag) I want the GOOD seat darnit!!

Can I just direct swap them or do I need to take the brackets off and swap the brackets too?

 

Why would you wanna change seats? the levers will be on the wrong sides. Im sure you will have to change the brackets to.

 

I removed my rear sway yesterday. The only advice I can give is...have a sawz-all or cut-off wheel ready. I managed to get my bolts loose, but then they broke off the nuts inside the frame, so they wouldn't come all the way out. I cut em off and went on my merry way.

 

Normally I wouldn't bother with it but it is getting REALLY annoying always leaning to the left when driving.

The passenger side seat is not broken like that so I want the GOOD seat on the drivers side.

 

Cut the anti-sway at the link points, and pull it out. The only tools you need to do it is a grinder with a cut off wheel. Then you can soak everything in PB, and take the links off later...

 

Yeah, I only have hand tools so far. So I have to do it the hard way and remove the bolts.

 

Got it out of there...the bolts were actually in decent condition. Not much rust at all. I only broke one bolt off in the frame. The hardest part was working the sway bar out from under there. I had to work around pretty much everything. It would have been 100X easier if I could get my tires off. PO put a locking lug on each wheel.

Anyway its off.
