The allen key goes from the inside, where the nut is. You will find that the bolt/stud has a grove on it for the allen key.

wow does this mean i'll have to use a wrench and cant use my socket huh. damnnnn.

as for the jackstands i knew about those 4 i was just wondering if there were any more jack points past that. i'll probably end up doing the install monday or tuesday because it is finals week and i really should be studying lol :lawl:

i was there a few weeks back picking up some tools for my pocketbike and i scoped those out. they had some really nice ones. but my same buddy who has the jack and stands has every one so i'll probably see if i can use his tools lol

did the sway bar and all i have to say is holy ****. its worth every penny without a doubt. the install wasnt too bad. the hardest part was the back right bushing mount. it was difficult because the axle back was right there blocking the way. because i didnt have a gear wrench i had to turn it 1/4 turn every time and lift up and repeat. very annoying!! total install took about an hour and a half, i bet we could do it in 30 minutes if i did another.

i used the lower control arms to hold the allen key so all i had to do was wrench the bolt off the end links.

the 12mm bolt was a ***** to remove and put back on because of its proximity to the exhaust piping (where the b pipe meets the axle back)

lolz i bet it feels even better knowing you did it yourself =P. good job.

only thing i'll add is that you might start hearing a squeak from the back. if you do, take the sway bar brackets off, take the bushings off and add some Teflon tape around the area where the bushing goes on the sway bar. On top of the Teflon tape add some general grease along with greasing the inside of the bushing. Then just re-install bushing/brackets.

In my case only one side squeaked but I did the above mentioned to both sides anyways.
