Before you remove the rubber bung from the end of the anti-roll bar plate please make sure that you have special tool @ dummy shock absorber to determine the height then you can remove the absorber. Remove 13mm bolt that holds the anti-roll bar plate to the suspension arm. Use another long screw 18mm(i think) into the endplate and push the anti roll bar out the other end.



Remove the to rubber seal by using torex refer to diagram no 12. then remove washer no 13. Spray a lot of WD40 on the torsion bar, multiple times!. Use hammer to push the anti roll bar out the other end, like this.........clik the picture to see animation.
