The name of one of the members. The post you questioned the mane was mis spelled and was corrected in the secons post.

You are going to need to raise the bar(s) somehow. I used a small bottle jack to get the bolt holes to line up. Any jack or some type of lever will work. The bushings are ment to be stiff and resist rotating.

I did have to use a breaker bar for added torque in socket. I just use a short length of pipe over ratchet handle. 2 ft will work to break the nuts loose.

Please-what is VivCee?

When I did the front, my bolts were VERy tight also. Couldn't even pound em out. The problem...coach was not level. Leveled up and still had to place jack under the opposite one to relieve the tension. reversed jack on reinstall to other hole.

X2. Works well when the mh is not sitting level. I would not remove the bar mounting brackets.

Excuse me, VivCee.

Vin credit. That was what I found out. The sway bar nuts are too tight to loosen. Hopefully hope is on the way 'cause I have disconnected the arms. Heavy penetrating oil does not seem to help. Thanks.

When I did mine I had to loosen the mounting bolts attaching the sway bar to the axle. Some have told me that was because my MH was not sitting level when I did it. Because that was harder than I anticapated, the bar bolts have a 15mm nut head and are really tight, I have not done the rear bar.
