I'm guessing 3-5hrs just for the rear, lol.
Everyone i've asked said it took a **** load of effort, and lots of cursing to coax it out.

I want to know if anyone who has done the rear has also installed the front sway bar in order to compare level of difficutlties...cause I did my front sway bar, and it was a PITA.

but aen said he was doign some other stuff and noticed the rear mount right there, did not seem to bad.

The Front sway bar is right on par with the Rear mount's level of PITAness!! My suggestion is to do both at the same time since the cradle is lowered for both!

You mean the FRONT sway is on par, right? Cause the rear sway is easy.

crippie, you re use the mount as you only recive the bushing for the rear.

aen...did you already do the rear? Did you actually pull it out, or just see where it was? I didn't get a full response from you on Saturday cause it was to damn cold for me to concentrate!

Use blue lock tight on it so it stays but can be taken off again.

Nope...It got the front mount in, though. easy enough to pull that bolt out while I rock it.
What was the hardest part? Would it help to take the front driverside wheel off?
Is any subframe removeal neccessary?

^ for the rear? The rear absolutely sucks. Your most likely going to be lowering your subframe.

i had to remove the drivers side wheel to hit up the center bolt that holds the tranny to the mount. lowering the subframe would help. the hardest part was the fact that the mount comes a bit thicker than the stock, so you have to bend the bracket that goes to the tranny out just a bit to be able to sqeeze it around the mount. second hardest part was re-installing the tranny braket in with the mount-bracket in the way.. pita! if you have no idea what im talking about, you will.. lol
