Replacement Algorithm
We start by unscrewing the wheel, hang it up and remove it. The location of the stabilizer bar is shown in the photo below.
We unscrew the nuts (upper and lower) fastening the rack with a 16 key, while holding the rack finger itself with a 6 hexagon so that it does not rotate.
It is advisable to pre-clean the thread with a metal brush so that the nut can be unscrewed more easily. You can also additionally lubricate VD-40.
In order for the old stand not to be in tension and easily come out of the holes (and also so that the new one easily fits into place), you need to either raise the lower lever with a second jack, or put a block under it and lower the main jack slightly (it turns out that stretching will weaken in the suspension).
Install a new stabilizer bar and tighten it.
