Using this tool can save time and effort by eliminating the need to cut the old link. It can also help to prevent damage to the sway bar or other components. However, if you find yourself in a situation where you do not have access to a sway bar link removal tool, you can use a hacksaw or angle grinder to cut the old link. Just make sure to be careful not to damage the sway bar or other components.
Here are the steps on how to remove a sway bar link using a sway bar link removal tool:
1. Park your vehicle on a level surface and engage the parking brake.
2. Locate the sway bar link you need to remove. It is typically located on the front or rear suspension, connecting the sway bar to the control arm.
3. Once you have located the sway bar link, take the special tool and slide it around the sway bar link to fit the tool behind the link and against the mounting hardware.
4. Place the tool over the link and use the handle to pry the link down and off of the mounting bracket.
5. Once the link is off of the mounting bracket, you can repeat this same procedure to remove the other link on the other side of the vehicle, if needed.
Using this tool can save you time and prevent headaches when it's time to change out your sway bar links.
