Default Quick Question Regarding Sway Bar

I know this is probably a dumb question, but here goes: I am going to install my Corsa exhaust and have a drive up lift. Can I unbolt the driver's side sway bar with the weight of the car on the lift? Wasn't sure if the wheels had to be off the ground.

Thanks :o

Matt

I did my over axle exhaust on a drive on lift and had no problems removing the nut and bolt from both sides of the sway bar to give the clearance to remove the old exhaust and install the new. Just remove the nut and bolt from each side and let the sway bar swing down out of the way.

Make sure and mark the sway bar revelant to the rubber bushings prior to dropping it. That way you can be sure it goes back in the same position, lert to right.
