They are fairly easy if you spray the threads up with WD-40 or any spray lubricant that beaks the rust down. The link is held in with top and bottom nuts, a spacer, bushings and everything should be replaced with the links, the bushings which are rubber usually are the part that rots out and it's best to get the links also. The later sway bars were like the cars and had no links. Just straps, but make sure the strap bushings are ok on the inner part of the sway bar. You'll need a socket and wrench, one to hold and the other to turn, their usually cut off with a torch to save time. If you must break the nuts off, you'll need to make sure you get new hardware. The links are tightened to just under 10 foiot lbs. Not real tight. 90 inch lbs. Is the tightening torque. Half a grunt. Ok
