Yeah, what Derek said! I have a few additional comments- if you can, buy, borrow or otherwise appropriate someone else's die grinder with 3" or bigger cutting wheels- makes it way easier to hack thru the bolts (also a good excuse to buy yourself a compressor and cutoff tool early for x-mas). Also, if you use liberal amounts of anti-seize you won't have to do the cutting thing again next time you change springs (or if you're putting Koni's on, change damping) I had mine apart after about 90-100k and the bolts came right off. Also, another option for pressing in new swaybar end bushings: use a short length of thinwall tubing about 1-1.25" dia, like from a bathroom sink tailpiece. Cut it in half, then use a hose clamp around it to squeeze the bushing while you press it in with a big C-clamp. Not the best way, just another way to do it....
