Jack the rear end up and stick it on jack-stands Remove both wheels Unbolt end links Unbolt mounts, remove brackets With a buddy, one of you stay under the car while the other pushes it out from the side wheel well. underneath guy will guide it out while side guy pushes. When going to a larger bar, it will take some work but you can wedge it into its home using the twom man methond above without loosening the fuel tank support brackets.
