Removing a wonderbar... What tools; specifically?

I found an '86 IROC at a wrecking yard that is all but dead, but still has the original wonderbar. Since my 91 Z28 doesn't have one, I'd like this one. In an effort to make the removal as streamlined as possible (something about being under a car in a junkyard, in the south with creepy crawly things everywhere), what tools do I need to remove all things associated with the Wonderbar?

Any help, advice would be great!

Thanks!

Re: Removing a wonderbar... What tools; specifically?

should be just 4 bolts (same ones that hold sway bar up), it's like a 9/16 socket I believe....but take a few sizes. So a socket set and a ratchet, maybe a small extension. that's it.

what he said

check your car and see what the bolts are that hold the sway bar to the frame mounts.

And take a sheet of cardboard or an old rug to spread on the ground.

Thanks for the info. Are the only bolts that I have to remove the same bolts that attach my swaybar currently? I thought the wonderbar used different bolts in the front?
