Pull the cotter pins and spin the nuts (19mm) off the tierod ends, smack the knuckle with a Hammer till you pop the tierod loose. Unbolt the four (15mm) sway bar bolts, careful not to break them off in the frame. The studs on the top of the factory sway-bay links will probably break.... IMO get new SB links and all the bushings to go with it.

It would probably help if it was suspended correct? Less stress on the parts.
Thanx for you're help. :-)
