"Brute force and stupidity overcomes all."

For the brute force part I use mini cargo straps. The type with a ratchet. You hook one end to the bar and one end to the front tow hook and crank it down until the bar is far enough forward that it is in position.

For the stupidity portion nothing beats a mini pry bar. I have one of those flat blue bars that is about 2 inches wide. You can pry on the rear of the bar with the end against the body and persuade the bar upwards and pretty easily get the bolts started.

I get the whole thing bolted up without the splash pan and take it for a short drive looking for some bumps to work the swaybar around in its bushings. Then it is pretty easy to get the socket head bolts back in through the splash pan.

Question: Why doesn't anyone make some stiffer urethane bushings for the later bars? The only way I can stiffen the front bar is to go to a 'thru the body' style bar which will add enough points to bump me a class.
