Wrenching on the Broken John Deere Gator and our VERY ANGRY COW!!

What happens here

The creator removes the broken sway bar from the rear of the Gator. He uses a DeWalt impact driver and a wrench to loosen and remove the bolts. He notes the audible 'clunking' sound was the tell-tale sign of the broken sway bar. He then shows the cleanly snapped part of the old sway bar. After comparing it to the new sway bar to ensure it's the correct replacement, he installs the new sway bar. A key tip is to tighten the bolts for the suspension parts first, ensuring they are snug, before fully tightening the sway bar bushings, to properly center the sway bar.

Goal: Replace the broken rear sway bar on the Gator.
