Without taking pressure off hitch w/toungue jack using pipe to snap up brackets can & will slip off causing serious damage to A.S. or your body, use [lazy mans way] for safety

Steve,
I'd be curious to see two side-on photos of your setup. The first with the hitch head simply installed in the receiver ( no trailer ), and the second with the trailer loaded and weight bars tensioned.

Loosen off the tension using the handle, the direction is indicated on the sticker, remove the clips from each end and simply pull from the two mounting balls. To refit, place the bar ends on the two balls, fit the clips and then tension using the handle. If the sway bar is hard to remove I can only think that you're not releasing the tension first.

I'll get that second photo for you tomorrow GMW. The hitch head rest lower down and further away from the car's bumper.

Lazy people prefer to use brain over brawn. Enough said.
