Stock Swaybar Removal

Park your car in a flat, level area and allow it to cool down properly.
Using a 10mm wrench, remove the negative terminal of the battery.
Jack your car up and support it properly, either using a lift, ramps, or jack and jack stands.
Lay a blanket or cardboard down under the car, or grab a creeper. In this case his name is Andrew
You can either remove the sway bar and the end links together (if you're replacing the end links as well). It can give you easier access if they're rusty or otherwise tough to remove.
If you're removing the end links with the swaybar remove the 14mm bolt holding the sway bar to the lower control arm using a socket on one side and a wrench on the other.
Next up remove the two 12mm bolts holding the sway bar brackets and bushings to the car, once both sides are off remove the sway bar from the car.
If you're using the stock endlinks, use a 5mm allen to whole the center of the end link where it goes through the sway bar, and use your 14mm wrench to remove the nut.
Using your 17mm socket and wrench, remove the nut on the backside of the rear lower control arm.

Pre-Assembly

Take a moment and apply some of the supplied silicone grease to the inside of the provided swaybar bushings.
Slip these bushings onto the outside of the stops on either end of the swaybar

Installation

Fish the rear swaybar around the exhaust. Install the swaybar bushing brackets but only secure the top bolt for now.
Loosely slip your end links into the sway bar and control arms but don't tighten them yet.
Using the stock nut loosely install the enclosed end of the swaybar brace to the bolt holding the rear lower control arm.
Swing the opposite end up. This will go into the lower bolt hole for the sway bar bushing bracket. Use a bolt with a lock washer, and flat washer.
You can now tighten up all the bolts for the rear sway bar.
Go out and Enjoy!
