Very Very Easy if you are able to use a lift. Its a matter of undoing four bolts and re doing them with new links in place.

The place where the sway bar meets the end links is very tight. I had to go out and buy flexi-head ratcheting wrench (http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_1...4&blockType=G4) - otherwise for me it was not possible to screw/unscrew the endlinks. From what I remember, you need a 5/8th wrench. I'd think that you have to remove the swap bar while removing the end links.

Did you have it up on a lift?
