Havent posted here before but saw a few posts saying how hard it is to install a rear sway bar on an XB. I jst purchased the hotchkis rear sway bar which is GREAT btw.
Any way the tools needed are Duct tape, plastic bag that came on the sway bar, 14mm open end and 14mm socket/ratchet.

Yes getting the bolts in suck when using magnets string or whatever so try this.

Start on the back bolt hole. Take approx 8 to 12" of the plastic bag and roll it tightly. Stuff it through the bolt hole towards the rear of the car. Once its through take duct tape and wrap the last inch of the screw in almost a candy cane swirl manner. Then wrap the other end of the tape in the same manner on the bag.
Now pull the bag through and if you wrapped the bolt nice and tight it will pull right through.
Do the same for the opp side and ull be fine.
At this point I bolted up the sway bar with the front two bolts only.
Then i was able to put the rear two bolts in with my fingers.

If you need pics of what I meant by candy cane swirl jst ask.

EVEN THO ITS BEEN SAID MANY TIMES, THE REAR SWAY BAR IS WORTH EVERY CENT!

If you use this method with in 20 minutes you can go have a beer on your first try!

 

I have never seen anyone complain about installing the rear bar.. It is the front bar that is a pain in the ****.
