what is the best way to separate the sway bar links from the ball studs so that i can replace shocks/springs in the rear ? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) |

I've used a pickle fork in the past. Mostly because I had one handy. You can probably use your favorite pry bar.
Getting them back on can be a pain. I have used a bar clamp to squeeze them on in the past, but it would have been much easier to use three hands for that; two to hold the clamp in place and one to tighten it. You may also need to use a floor jack to move one wheel or the other up and down until the drop-link and the ball-end line up. Aaaahndy says that putting a small hole in the end of the bushing helps by letting the air out. I haven't tried that; I haven't needed to since I have read that advice. --DD |
