Sway bar link removal 101, its still tough sometimes... Posted by Nicholas [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: CONFUSION: is RH control arm replace DIY or not?, AllanJ, Thu, 19 May 2005 14:50:21 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
1) WD40, Liquid Wrench it well
2) Go back inside, drink beer, coffee, margarita whatever your thing is
3) get out your 11mm Open end wrench, your 13mm wrench or deep socket
4) CLEAN THE BOTTOM THREADS!
5) Stabilize as Ron says, to remove the downward force
6) put the 11mm around the top part of the bolt
7) Put the 13mm tool on the bottom
8) Righty Tighty, Lefty loosey... the bottom bolt is upside down though!
9) Its more important to stabilize the top of the link with the 11mm then to bring brute force to bear on the bottom, you will see the link begin to turn if you are too heavy with the 13 and too gentle with the 11, dont break it
10) If its not going anywhere repeat step 1 and most importantly 2
11) You got it ? Great! Now remember to put it back to so you sandwich the washers and rubber in this order from top to bottom:
1st RUBBER Bushing with nipple up towards link
2nd Curved washer with concave surface up towards rubber
3rd The lower Control Arm
4th RUBBER bushing with nipple up
5th Curved washer, concave up, flat against the bottom bolt
6th 13mm bolt, torque it to just 7 ft lbs, this is very little force
There you go, Good luck!
Nicholas
