Today, my parents came down to Fort Wayne to pick up my grandpa, so my brother and I also went to Fort Wayne to visit. I also decided to bring my sway bar to do the install at home.
The install did not run as smoothly as I liked though. I had no problems with loosening the bracket bolts, but the end links just wouldn't budge! The reason why the end link was so difficult to loosen it was because I needed a specific wrench to hold the hex washer (located at the top of the end link) in place to get the bolt on the bottom of the end link off. I spent hours doing trial and error to figure out what size fits and could not find the right size. I went through about four different size wrenches which were all close, but not exact. Eventually, my brother and I went to Lowe's to buy different sized wrenches that we have not already tried. But still, no luck. After spending about five hours trying to take the sway bar off, my brother and I gave up and went back to Bloomington. Hopefully next time I'll have more luck...
Here is a picture of the hex washer that I couldn't find a wrench for:
