How tough was the Comptech Swya Bars installation?

Besides the end-links nuts, what was the toughest part?

How easy to sneak the bar in and out?

Thanks for the hints

Rears were easy but I sweated out installing the fronts! Thought I would have to lower the exhaust but stepped back, took a deep breath and was finally able to slide her in! Good luck dude!

NNH,

Jens replied to this question about 4-5 months ago. Search on Jens and sway and you should find it.

It's definitley easier if its a 2 person job. You definitely need a pair of jackstands, a hex wrench (I think a 4 or something like that), a monkey wrench (I think 12mm) or some kind open head ratchet . You have to hold the bolt that connects the sway bar to the lower control arm w/ the hex wrench while you take off the nut. That's the hardest part of the whole install. Getting the sway bars in and out is pretty easy, you just have to twist them around.
