All4 Rear Sway Bar Swap

Does anyone have any tips/links/videos/pics of a How To for replace the rear sway bar on a All4? I can't find anything anywhere.

I have a 2 post lift and can do anything mechanical but new to MINI stuff.

The All4 rear seems rather complex to get that damn bar out and new one in.

Thanks!!

It's the same as doing the 2WD, just I use a jack to put the subframe back in place due to the diff weight.

No way can it be the same, can it? The rear sway bar is completely covered by the rear drive assembly on the ALL4?

Nevermind, I just watched videos from another thread. It is definitely a lot simpler than I was thinking while looking under the car. Forums are great for this stuff. I just couldn't imagine how the All4's drivetrain/subframe was attached. Giddy-up!!

Thanks for the nudge in what I couldn't wrap my head around.
