sway bar removal????

[TJ500]

Tore down the front suspension tonight to make my 02 700MM wide and long travel.... Got to the sway bar for removal, and one damn rivit on each side is tucked behind plastic belly.... How on earth does that last rivit come out without butchering plastic belly???

Then.... how to get a new rivit back in for reassembly?....

Are these special rivits?...Look better than hardware store.....Yamaha stock them?????

Here's an old article from Snow Connection online about installing a Sno Tec front suspension. It describes how to do exactly what your asking.

Thanks for the link.....Just what I needed...

Can one purchase rivits from a Yamaha dealer....Their rivits look awsome quality.... I can get cheapies from hardware but don't look strong enough...

Use the yammie rivets when ever possible. They are way better quality then after market usually.
