Spring perch pins then? If so, you can do them without removing the sway bar. You will of course need to disengage it from the swivel. This is assuming you have the common, second and final design of sway bar. I believe you will find it easier to remove the old perch pin if you remove the backing plate first. Mike "Kube" Kubarth

You do not need to remove the bolts. You do need to remove the backing plate. And yes, it's a pain in the butt job. However, it can be done. Mike "Kube" Kubarth

Without the proper tools, this task becomes much more difficult than with... Getting the old one out is only part of the issue. Getting the new ones installed is the real pain. I would never heat a perch bolt in fear of weakening it. Does your local club have a member with the KRW installation tool? Perhaps he'd lend it you. I have heard of guys using a strong C-clamp with good results although I've never tried that. You MUST press on both the threaded stud and the outer h*ll of the pin simultaneously.

I can't imagine how nylon bushings would work with a sway bar. The sway bar must have an opposing torsional twist to bring it back to its natural state. The authentic perch pins offer that. Mike "Kube" Kubarth
