Jack
Jack stands (2)
Rachet
10mm Socket
14mm Socket

14mm Wrench
5mm Allen Wrench
Bottle of WD-40 / Liquid Wrench

Step #1

first you jack up the car so you have enough room to get under there to remove the bolts and sway bar i do recommend using jack stands i also used a old blanket to lay on

Step #2

there are two nuts 14 mm 1 conects to the bar from the endlinks and 1 that conects from the endlinks to the body of the car) remove theses with a 14 mm Wrench and 5mm Allen Wrench use liquid wrench or wd-40 to help with removal of these nuts if needed

Step #3
repeat step 2 for the other side of the car

Step #4

there are 2 backets (bushings)holding the bar to the car each is conected with 2 12mm bolts remove these with a 14mm socket use liquid wrench or wd-40 to help with removal of these bolts if needed

here is the difference between the 2 bars

Step #5 starting from the Right side remove the 2 14mm bolt that hold the bracket on you will need a 14 mm socket and a extension to clear the rear trailing arms/ suspension use WD40 or Liquid Wrench to help with removal of these bolts if needed ****do not throw these bolts away you will be re-using them****

Step #6 now do the same for the Left side ****do not throw these bolts away you will be re-using them****

Step #7

starting from the Right side using (civic si right side bracket) 52317-SVB-AO1 bolt back into place re-using the stock bolts (Step #5 and Step #6)

Step #8

now do the same for the left side using (civic si left side bracket) 52318-SVB-A01 bolt back into place re-using the stock bolts (Step #5 and Step #6)

Step #9

once the brackets are bolted up its time to start to install the bar using a 14mm Wrench and 5mm Allen Wrench put the stock endlink on the new bar (civic si rear sway bar) 52300-SVB-A01 once both sides are on it time to mount them the car.

Step #10

with a 14mm Wrench and 5 mm Allen Wench line up the end links so they fit back it to the original place tighten them making sure not to strip the bolt

Step #11

now put the (civic si bushings and holders ) 52306-SVB-A01/ 52308-SVB-A01 on the new bar there should be some yellow marks to show where the go once in the correct spot. line the holder up so the holes for the bolt line up with the holes on the bracket

Step #12

once the holes are lined up bolt in the 2 bolts (civic si bolts 10x20) 93401-10020-08 using a 14mm socket tighten them

Step #13

now repeat step #12 just on the other side

Step #14

now everything is bolted on remove the jackstands and it time to take it out to see how it handles
