    All easy until you get to the bushings! For the uppers you need a press or a machine shop that can press the old out/new in. Thr lowers will require a torch, sawzall and bfh! Oh yea, and lots of time and patience!

    I just replaced the sway bar links on my wife's car.....they are a pain by design. Hard to remove....easy to install.

    Our swaybar links are actually pretty easy to remove. Why are you replacing the links? Did you break them? They can obviously take quite a bit of abuse...my swaybar broke, links are in great shape
