i am about to install the Si rear sway bars to my 00Ex. the sway bar and then endlinks was taken apart. after looking at the helms manual, it say to hold the endlinks with a hex wrench and then tight to specs of 22ft/lbs onto the sway bar. my question is... how in the world do i hold the hex wrench in place while torquing it down to spec??? any ideas?

for those of you that upgraded to an aftermarket sway bar, don't u have to use the existing endlinks? if so, then how did you tighten it down? please help... cuz my cusco rear lower tie is coming in... so planning on doing that mod soon. thanks~

 

fug it, just hold the hex wrench in there and start tightening til you can't tighten no more.

 

humm... i've thought about doing that as well. but other than that isn't there another way to do it? i mean if the manufacturers can do it... i don't think it's impossible for us to do it as well. i'm just wonderin if there is some secret tools they used...

 

Off hand, I can't think of a way you can do it without purchasing some weird *** torque wrench. Personally, I've never heard of something that will do what this is requiring it to do.

I just tightened mine by hand and I never had a problem.

 

aiite... thanks for the help... guess i'll have to give that a try....
