Rear Sway Install Pictorial?

Just received my Alta 22mm red rear sway bar and anxious to get it installed. I have been looking through previous posts on NAM to see if anyone has posted a pictorial of the install, the written instructions leave a bit to be desired. Can't seem to find any install pictorial, has there ever been one done? If so could you point the way? Also the instructions say to grease the bushings with grease supplied with the Alta sway bar but mine arrived with no grease, what grease should I use and can I get it at my local autmotive supplier? Thanks

Thanks for the pointer to Randy's pictorial unfortunately when I click on it I get the following message:

"Sorry, but this board is currently unavailable. Please try again later"

Do you think this is just temporary or just not available anymore at all?

I'm sure it's just temporary.

Click here for minimania's install instructions. I believe it's the same as on Webb's site.

Rear sway bars

Note to above post if doing convertible you will need to remove convertible sub frame stiffener first.Whats required is torx 50 bit.Also on convertible is another frame mount not found on non-convertible.This extra mount is buried under heat sheild for exhaust which requires exhaust removal from rear of car.Add 1hr extra for convertible.Martin.Good Luck
