For future axle jobs: Remove the axle nut, then disconnect the upper ball joint and pull down on the spindle. You will also need to remove any brackets for brake lines or abs to gain enough distance. After that pull the axle out of the spindle and then remove the axle from the tranny.

This is the way I have always done it for 2g’s and have never had to remove the swaybar link.

As for where to pick one up…we could get you one from the dealer, or you could try skrappar at Kenwood napa.
