Hungryhippo is right, unbolt upper control arm and shock and remove factory swaybar and endlinks work it over to side and it will come out. just take your time.

I didn't touch them either....i did the upper control arm release route.....went very smoothly other than my ocd and checking every bolt torque spec 3 times...lol

All -

Thank you all for the support/discussion.

Anthony helped my by supplying a video where the upper control arms are lowered - I had already gotten the lowers off in the front although I did garf a boot using a pickle fork on the passenger side.

I would not and will not use a fork in the future on anything - I should have gotten a ball joint separator but I got impatient and it cost me.

Dropping the upper control arms on the rear was much easier than trying to deal with the lower control arms.

I did struggle with getting the end links on the rear stabilizer bar but some advice and a jack helped that.

I would like to thank Anthony at LG for talking me through the effort - he was very helpful and he knew I was frustrated with the control arm issues.

I've always tapped the nuts like someone else suggested above. If it was only to remove the spring, cutting the spring could have been an option if it was that bad.

Anthony is a great guy and has forgotten more about Corvettes than most people know!

Glad he was able to help you.
