Soo how the F do u get the front sway bar out??

[ROLLingKING]

Ive been wiggling at it for over an hour and can not get the front sway bar out. I talked to one local e30 buddy and he says it just wiggles out.

ive tried turning the sway bar, adjusting angles but nothing works. its an 87 325is. my trans, exhaust, and control arms are in the WAY

please help

I unbolted the lollipop on one side, then it wiggled out.

Plasma torch.

I think I may have jacked up one control arm, but definitely got it out w/o removing any other parts.

Take your car to the rust belt for a few days. That shit will literally fall off, or at least that's what happened to mine.

Unbolting the LCAB on one side is the way to go. The holes are sleeved so it won't affect your alignment at all.

sawzall or torches

very slowly after a while it came out but you think thats hard try the rear you have to drop the diff if you wanna make it easy.....

I've wiggled them in/out.

Took me a while though - it was like an odd puzzle game. Wish I could be more helpful - but by the time you finally get it in/out, you're so mad or happy that you don't care how it was done.

Rear bar was different - had exhaust and axles out before I could get the rear bar in/out. Then I think I figured out it can slide in "through" spring..

Yea that one bolt is difficult.

[ROLLingKING]

Yea everyone kept telling me the front wiggles right out and the rear is a bitch to get out cause of the diff.
I called my boy and it was the lollipops. as soon as i dropped those it slid right out.LOL

Im doing the rear tmrw. gonna have to find someone to weld my mounting brackets tho. After doing the front I can already feel a difference in how the car dives into turns and pullls out. So much easier to steer while pullin G's
