Re: How hard is it to take OUT my FRONT sway bar? (MyBlackGti)
I put mine in upsidedown once and didnt want to drop everything, so I figured out a way to do it without dropping everything. You need an engine hoist though- of course you would need one anyways.
Heres how:
Attach the chain and give it some good tension with the hoist in the normal spots. Then you can just unbolt all the bolts that connect the rear subframe to the car the unibody frame. Now, with the flex in the engine mounts, you should be able to pull down on the rearmost section of the subframe enough to be able to pull the bar out.
Here, at the bottom of the page, Shine talks about disconnecting the front swaybar. But of course, this is with a shine setup which has a rear bar. http://www.srsvw.com/page5.htm
So you arent totally crazy.
