front sway bar R&R - any tricks?

[Dave C]

Is there a trick to installing the front sway bar on the type 44?  I've
done it a few times but it always turns into a mighty struggle.  I assume
there's a better way ... but I haven't found the right combination of
things to adjust (weight on/off the wheels, etc) to get the ends inserted
into the control arms without a fight.

I'm finishing up a rebuild of the front end on my 87 5kq and will be
dealing with this soon.
