2)

Unbolt the stock sway bar bushing brackets. Remove the bushings once the brackets are loose.
Unbolt and remove the end links from each end of the bar. The bar should now be free moving
and is held in the vehicle only by the steering assembly.

Cars with power steering will require that the power steering cylinder be unbolted and

removed.

3)

Remove the bolts holding the idler arm to the frame. Use a 1-5/16” socket or wrench to
remove the retaining nut attaching the pitman arm to the gearbox. Use the pitman arm puller to
free the pitman arm from the gearbox.

Note the position of the gearbox teeth and pitman arm to maintain proper steering when

re-installing the pitman arm in a later step!
