Default Installing Springs

I plan on installin gmy spring tonight. Going to follow the step by step in the tech section. It doesn't mention the front sway bar though. I assume this just unbolts from the top? I have never really looked at how it was installed.

the front sway will not be that easy if you are trying to replace it. If you are asking whether or not the sway needs to be unbolted if you are replacing springs, the answer is no.

Umm I just checked out the car and it looks like I do need to remove the sway. The screws I need to undo under the hood are the same ones holding the sway bar down Guess I have to remove that to? Anything I should be leary of? Any right wrongn way to remove and put the sway back on?

to put on springs there's no need to take off the sway bar.

I think he is confusing a strut tower brace with the sway bar.

dont out the strut bar back till its back on the ground and drove back and forth. body can flex while on jack stands and might have a hard time getting the bolts to line up with the holes.
