changing the rear anti roll bar / fitting advice
I like to change the rear anti roll bar on my C36 with the C43 one
16mm -> 18mm
I look today (perhaps I'm wrong) but it do not sames easy to remove and refit the ARB : not a lot of space and ARB is not "straight"
can someone tell me the DIY to remove/fit the ARB
thanks

You have to drop the rear suspension cradle to swap the rear roll bar. It is not an easy task, but can be done without a lift.
Wow, my first post after lurking nearly four years.

Technically the whole rear subframe needs to be removed then the process is very easy.
Otherwise to can remove both wheels, remove the rear calipers (just hang up, don't disconnect the brake lines), remove the exhaust hangers, support the subframe and remove the 4 mounting bolts. gently lower subframe, have a 2nd person help watch the speed sensor wiring and fuel pump wiring/hoses to make sure they don't get stretched. then it'll still be tight to remove the sway bar, but it can happen. Expect to take about 5hours if you're taking it easy.
