Real quick. I’m sure many of you have thought of this, but just wanted to share what I did to avoid the sway bar issue. I’ve seen a bunch of people on youtube struggling w/ it.

Took a wide piece of cardboard, put it behind the nut and on top of the sway bar. Was able to actually put it so that it stayed on it’s own. Oil flowed perfectly into pan, sway bar didn’t have a drop on it.

Anyhow, like I said, i’m sure many of you have done this. But figured i’d share since every video I watched the folks had issues w/ it.

I did this with a flexible plastic cutting board the first time. Then I swapped in a Fumoto ;)
