JKS Quicker Disco Install Question...

depending on he amount of room you have here's two possible problem solvers.
take a hack saw and cut the allen wrench down to the propersize there cheap and sears has plenty.
the other method if to use a pair of vise grips or channel lock pliers to hold the head of the bolt , if the distance is still to tight.
hope that helps

So I got my JKS Disco's from Jason , they looked pretty damn easy to throw on so I said this will only take 5 mins and went outside to play....1st I would like to say Jason's Jeep made mine feel like a tiny piece of because I had to tighten them down to like 1/2" of extension while his were extended probably 6" ::xmasunhappy , and even worst I didnt know that when I tightened them down all the grease would come out of the fitting's like that....I was greasy as hell...

Well everything went good from there except:

Axle mount end went on smooth, but on the upper piece that connects to the sway bar did not....It is an allen key bolt that has a nut put on the other end to attatch to the sway bar....When I try to put the nut on the allen key bolt keeps rotating? I tried geting a allen key wrench in there but It wont fit in the tiny space....this makes no sense to me, maybe Jason can chim in on how the top part goes on...I dont know why the factory didnt weld up the bolt to the bracket It goes through anyway...? Any thoughts?

im alittle confused
r u trying to tighten the bolt with the disoc installed ?
on an xj i think the braket mounts to the top of the swaybar
on a tj it mounts to the bottom
maybe it's the other way
but anyway
i cant see why u would not have room to tighten the bolt

yea what u said makes sense dave, thats the only way It would work, I knew that was an option but was to lazy to take It apart... , guess thats what I'll do...

Andrew hes saying: I should take the U looking part on the top of the disconnect (that bolts to the actual sway bar)....undo It from the disconnect...then tighten the U part to the sway bar because I will have access to the allen key bolt head, once Its tight, take the actual disconnect and attach It back to the U part that was originally on the disconnect, It slides out of It's rotating bushing...
