Unless you're upgrading to a better bar, that's an unusual replacement project. They really don't break or wear out.

Here's the how-to tutorial. https://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/how-...ar-swap-27591/

The right way to do it is to raise the car and drop the rear of the motor cradle. Otherwise you are going to need to be inventive getting the bracket bolts out.

so i guess it is the stabilizer bar link, not the actual bar itself.

I need to replace the stabilizer bar link, not the stabilizer bar.

Oh, ok. Yeah, those definitely wear out.

Oldblue just posted instruction for this. I can't find it, though.
