Stabilizer bar links come in a variety of bolt 'styles'.

The trick is to determine how to keep the bolt / stud from turning while removing the nut.

The head of the bolts on the factory links I replaced were held in place with a small socket while the nut was loosened & removed with a box wrench.

Another style of bolt on an after-market link had a spot on the backside where a wrench could hold the bolt from turning while using a socket on the frontside nut.

With both nuts removed, there is small amount of tension still on the link. Lift up on the stabilizer bar, may even require a tire iron to leverage the bar upwards to easily release the link for removal.

Need to say it out loud: remove the wheels for this repair job.

How do you replace the stabilizing links on the front sway bar of a 2000 ford explorer?

I believe it is a 15mm nut and bolt. You need to undo both stabilizer links and pull the bolt out of the stabilizer link shaft. Sometimes these parts will rust together or corrode and can be tough to pull apart but they will come apart. Then you just replace the old with the new. total job time for both sides... 20 - 40 mins. hope this helps.
