Started working on a clutch replacement. Does anyone know the trick to removing the front sway bar? It's all disconnected, but I can't seem to get the angle right.

started putting the beast back together after changing rear wheel bearing , 5 minutes it took me to re assemble rear hub and all that gubbins, then it took a further 6 hours to get the drive shaft into the hub,
THEN just when I thought all I had to do was the rear brake shoes, the heavens opened up and it rained, so ANOTHER day , I'm without it
OH on a side note
because I'm an absolute halfwit, before I dropped the suspension stuffs, I didn't release the pressure on the airbag, so now its kinda bit twisted and distorted in shape. yeah I can re connect it properly back together with the clip but it doesn't look that good , when the air builds up will it re shape it or have I got to buy another one of them now

I replaced the window regulator on the 5mt. The front sure was harder than the rear. I would have replaced the front clip only, but wanted to have that be a separate project and wanted to button the X back up as quickly as possible.

Then replaced my Home Depot Exide battery. Those are the only batteries to buy since they have a no questions asked 40 month, non prorated replacement policy. No load test, no battery test. Nothing. Just take it. This battery was only two years old but had been sitting on the shelf for months before I bought. I was newer then and did not know to look for that production date back then.
