Heading on a road trip next weekend, so I did the oil/tranny/air/cabin filter changes, and decided to lube the sway bar bushings while I was under there. I had 1 bolt on the driver's side clamp that wouldn't come off. I had to loosen, wd40, tighten, repeat about 12 times! 2 hours later... and of course, this bolt it the hardest to get reach. Smeared some lithium on the bushings and reinstalled ALL bolts with a nice coating of anti-seize. I mean, even the splash cover bolts underneath got anti-seize. A couple of those for the cover I had to combat rust. JB-Weld and anti-seize were my friends today. I hope that goes easier next time. I feel for you guys who deal with salted roads.
