tips on installing sway bars

I just purchased a set of used racing beat sway bars but I don't have instructions for them. Can anyone offer me some advice (short of paying to have them installed ) Is just straight forward...unbolt the old and bolt up the new? or are there tricks i should know about. Also, is it wise to get an alignment after the instal?

Thanks in advance.

The biggest thing to remember when doing any suspension work is that to assume that the bolts are TIGHT AS A ****!!!! Spray some good penetrant (WD-40, PB Blaster, etc) on all the nuts and bolts and let that sit for a few hours. This will make the entire process MUCH easier. Other than that you shouldn't have too much trouble. And you wont have to align it, either!

It's simple enough to do, especially since the RB bar uses stock endlinks. I know there is at least one person here whose bar clocked him in the head when he unbolted it; it's an easy swap Just catch the bar.
