Here are the items you'll need for this repair: 15-21mm sockets, ratchet, socket extensions, ½” breaker bar, torque wrench, gloves, rust penetrant, jack and jack stands
Using a 21 millimeter socket and a breaker bar, loosen all of your lug nuts about one turn. Raise and support your vehicle. We're using a lift to make it easier to show you what's going on, but this job can easily be done at home with a jack and jack stands. Remove your lug nuts the rest of the way by hand. Remove your wheel and tire.
Remove the two 15 millimeter bolts on the sway bar bushing bracket with a 15 millimeter socket and a breaker bar. Just loosen them up for now, and switch over to a ratchet once they're a little easier to move. Remove the brackets, and you'll see that there is a cut going down the center of the bushing, which we'll want to spread open. Slide off of the sway bar. Slide the back cover of the sway bar bushing bracket onto the sub frame.
Support the bushing, and install it back over the bar. Install the top half of the bracket, and start your two bolts by hand. Tighten the bolts down with a 15-millimeter socket and ratchet. You can now reinstall your wheel and tire.
Reinstall your wheel and tire. Get your 21 millimeter lug nuts as tight as you can by hand. Lower the partial weight of your vehicle back onto the tires. Torque your lug nuts to 110 foot-pounds in a cross pattern.
