I'm replacing the stock front sway bar on the six, and was wondering:
Is there a trick to removing the outer triangular plate and corresponding rubber bushing to get the original bar out of the car? It seems like the rubber bushing will not slide over the square end pieces of the bar without the proper combination of swear words. Anyone know the combination? The car is freshly painted, so I've been a little hesitant to get too "enthusiastic" with removing it yet.

Over the years they become one (well... almost). The best method is described above. Just a whisp of smoke, no need to choke yourself out of the garage. Factory bushings are not split. A box cutter can accomplish the task and make removal that much easier. If it's too hard you may want to carefully cut away with a cut off wheel. |
