The sway bars are held on with 4 bolts and 2 end-links. It's very simple and you don't have to remove the wheels or the exhaust of you don't want to.

I've never removed the rear sway, but removing the stock exhaust is only a 10-15 minute job once the car is up on stands.

- 5 hangers, 3 flange bolts, plus rear brace (4 + 1 bolts IIRC)

You can do it yourself if you have some muscles and don't mind getting dirty

I don't know how you'd get to the end links without removing the wheels. Even if you could, removing the front wheels makes everything so much easier. Here's the Saner bar install instructions that should also work with minor changes for most of the other bars out there.

I think the Comptech website has detailed instructions for a Comptech bar install.

i installed cusco sway bars on my car before no need to remove the wheels everything can be done with the car jacked up on jackstands. The rear you might want to remove the exhaust so it isn't such a pita hit me up if you need help richard

You really should load the suspension before tightening the bolts.

I removed wheels and the the front plastic under cover to install front sway and unhooked the exhaust from the hangers....I don't see any other way around it.

any tips on removing the rear exhaust to install a rear swaybar?

really, i tried to put some muscle into it. it didnt seem to want to budge and my patience ran out.

whats effective? grease? pry bars? unbolt the front flange first?

Take the rear wheels off and work the hangers from the wheel wells. Spray some lub on the rubber hangers.
