Whose changed rear sway bars in IRS

[Day-mow]

What's the trick. Went to have a crack at it after night and it's a million times harder then the front.

Appreciate any help. Thanks

I have heard of it done without taking the half shafts out, but given the room that you have under there, it is much easier with one or both half shafts out. Not sure about the sexuality of your rear suspension though?????

[Day-mow]

This is going to be lame then.
If I need to take out drive shafts it's deff gay

[auIILTD]

I am sure that you have tackled harder jobs mate. It is just a bit more time consuming than those with live rear axles are used to.

Have you got a new one to go in? I am sure that it will be worth it if you have.

Yeah got a pedders one posted for $150 pretty happy with it. Mich give it a crack tomorrow after work.

[auIILTD]

Good work. Great price. What size diameter?

[Day-mow]

everything im reading says 20mm 3 point adjustable. im pretty confident its not adjustable. but its probably about 20mm.
its at work i was gonna fit it last nite there but no cigar. so i'll bring it home 2morro and sus it all out!

[Day-mow]

Well I've tried again and no success probably will end up dropping the diff. Took out both drive shafts and still couldn't swap them. It's starting to really tick me off.

MMM, both drive shafts out? I certainly got mine changed with both shafts out! Took a bit of jiggling, but not too much.

[Day-mow]

Definitely can not do that in mine. I tried for a hour and had 0 luck

[FreddyDUZ747]

Yep thats gay as aids Daymow...

I guess this is only thing the BA rear end has over the AU,mine took about one Iced Coffee to fit lol.

[Day-mow]

to right Karl!!!! i want it to be as easy as the front! im gonna try lowering the diff but leaving most things attached and hop that it'l all hold in place and i'll be able to get it out/in.

Hit me with a text if you need a hand. Heading out of town midday saturday though.

Day-mow, did yoy try to loosen the front (verticle) diff bolt? It allows you to pull the front of the diff down. It may give you the clearance you need.

Hang in there - I'm sure we've all had days like this.
Would getting a prybar and levering the control arms help? May give you some more room to manouvre the bar out?
Just a thought.
