Default 2012 Rubicon electric sway bar motor

So I managed to smash my electric sway bar disconnect housing on some rocks, and now my sway bars won't reconnect. I am going to install a manual disconnect of some kind (The EVO one looks nice) but it looks like it still requires some of the factory electric setup. Should I replace my sway bar with a solid bar and get a different manual disconnect or is it maybe possible to tear the electric motor off and manually reconnect the bar, weld it, and put on a manual system?

Hopefully this isn't too confusing....

Thanks!

I would take it apart to see if the reason it won't reconnect is electrical or mechanical.

If electrical, just install the EVO knob.

If mechanical, replace the whole works with a regular bar and disconnect links.

See this thread to look inside the e-disco mechanism: https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/stoc...-study-153545/
