Rear Sway Bar install tips, tricks or something?

So I'm upgrading the rear sway in my 04 GP, and i'm having major issues, i got the old one out, though not without much @$$pain with all the twisting and turning etc. But I can't seem to get the new one in. I have dual exhaust (no, not true dual). Any tips on getting this thing back in there without removing exhaust hangers (which I'm not sure how to do). Anything would be appreciated. And reconfirming that the hump in the middle of the bar goes "up" right? Thanks!
 


I didn't have any problems with mine going in at all but it helps to have someone on the other side to guide it as you slide it through.
 


I didn't get a second person, no way in hell was the wife coming out to help. it was actually embarassing how quickly I got everything bolted up when I came at it the next morning. So...can add the gmpp rear sway and the w-body store trailing arms. First thing I did was take it up the mountain. Def a nice improvement.
 
i did HD end links and GMPP rear sway no problem, but could not get the 24mm bolt out of the trailing arms, not even with PB and an impact @ 170psi. my question to you is: after taking the nut off, did you unscrew that bolt or pound it out? i'm thinking of using a torch and a big f'n hammer, but i'm worried i'll wreck the bolts because i'm not sure if they are threaded all the way thru?
 
If you are having trouble... lower the braket down and hit it with your gun. Then it'll be free from the rust that's holding it.
