ROFL...that damn thing is a pain in the butt. If I remember correctly you have to rotate the sway bar clockwise with some fidgiting of the control arms to get it past and fished through.

I know it took 3 of us about 45 minutes of fiddling to get it so that we could rotate it. If I remember correctly I even had to lift the one wheel so someone else could rotate it and clear the control arm. Someone else did it locally with one other guy and it took them an hour and a half to get it to rotate around. Which front sway are you putting in btw?

All I can say is it takes a long *** time to get that sway outta there. I did mine by myself and it took freakin forever. I do remember the following which might help you.
When I finally got it:
1.) I had to almost completely roatate it where needed INSIDE the last part of the frame(I'll call it) before you get it out into the fender well area. It took some walking back and forth from side to side of the car to eventually see/get it where I needed it to be.
2.) It came out the drivers side and once I got it so far, it might have taken some different steering wheel turns/angles to finally get it.
EDIT: Apparently most have better luck taking it out the passenger side, so go with that!
Good luck, don't give up, and don't get frustrated to where you just start yanking it around.
Bump stops.......not really sure, but probably not. I only have RB sprongs and "yes", I did cut mine down per the instructions, but they were NOT MS springs.

We did have the lower tray out all the way...but what does disconnecting the lower part of the rad gain you...you still have a hose in the way of pulling the sway straight out.

You have to kinda rotate/wiggle/pull carefully to get it to come out. I found it easier to pull it out the passenger side...then the rad hoses are less of an issue
It's also easier with 2 people...so one can support the end while the other guides it out

no, I am not using the stiff settings until I can get them. Others have said they are ok to use though
It took us 7-1/2 hours to do just the front....we messed up a few times but the front springs and front sway bar.
Tomorrow we will do the rear stuff.

Rear is cake!
Bet it takes you probably less than 15 minutes to do the rear sway, and just a little bit longer for the springs. Think you'll knock it out in under an hour.
