Tools needed:
17mm wrench or socket (preferably 6 point)
19mm wrench (preferably 6 point)
Optional tools you may need:
PB Blaster
Breaker bar
Sawzall
Beverages
The stock length end links were not on the PRG web site when I went to order (they may be now). I called and ordered them and 4 LCA spacers for $80…

Remove link. Top and bottom nuts are 17mm
On the driver side I rounded over the bottom nut and had to cut it off. On the passenger side I rounded off the lower nut and had to cut it off too.

The PRG end link takes a 19mm wrench for the outside nuts and a 17 mm wrench for the backing nut. Torque to 64 ft lbs. I didnt torque them just got them really tight.

It is not necessary to remove the wheels but because I had to cut the nuts off I had to.
These and the new sway bar bushings make for a quiet solid ride.
