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.

it seems like one should be able to "drive" the bar out with a suitable drift (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif)
unbolt one side and from the other side, push the bar thru the mount still on the car.....it shouldn't take that much force or damage anything....lube the bar on the end you are hitting to help the bar squeeze thru.... |
