Its pretty easy. I got mad at mine and broke all the plastic ones. It didnt really help any but made me feel better. There isnt really much to say as far as what to do.

Thanks for the quick replies, I guess it's safe to say these end links aren't under any pressure that was my only concern, if I was to lift the rear was it going to put a load on the end links or lift the front was it going to put a load on them.?

The endlinks aren't under pressure but the sway bar will move some after you disconnect them. I did mine one at a time to limit the movement of the bar. I put my car on ramps and used the jack to support the a arm to make removal a little easier.

I might sell you mine because I'm looking at installing adjustable links. Mine are the factory metal links. Car is a garage queen with less that 30K miles

Either lift both sides or leave both sides under load. If you lift one side so it's hanging and the other side is still on the ground then the links would likely be under load.
