Default Rear sway install

Can 1 person install the rear sway bar or is it a 3 hand job because of flex. I looked
underneath and it sure looks simple enough. Is it as easy as it looks. Nothing usually
is the way I figure it.
Thanks,
WC

It would help to have a extra hand, have to hold the whole bar up to start the bolts.

That is what I figured, but was hoping. Maybe it's a good way to meet the neighbors. "Hi, want to help work on my car"

Now that's not very MacGyver of you...

Options:
a. beer gut - slide under it and inhale
b. floorjack
c. foot
d. attach it to the rear-end first, then swing it up to the chasis...

If you have the neighbor option - can't hurt, but having played around this part of the car recently, you should be able to do it by yourself...

I would favor option "d" and "b" myself...

Make sure you use that line on the female neighbors. Might work.
Or send them running to the local police station.

Either way, you will meet new friends to help you work on the car.
