Default How difficult to replace sway bar link?

Just finished up with rotors and pads on the rear of my 98 EX Coupe and I noticed the sway bar has separated from the sway bar link on the passangers side. I can move the two parts together by hand ( I would have thought there would be more tension in the sway bar making it difficult to move? ) Anyway, the parts is about $21. It looks easy enough to replace? Is this a straight parts replacement or are there any adjustments needed?

Should I tackle this myself or should this be done by the shop?
No lift so I have to work on this on the ground.

Also, can I drive the car as is? (until fixed of course)

Thanks

Steve

Easy job,I wouldn't drive it hanging down or anything,you can remove it until you have time to repair it,maybe repaint it while you have it off.

It's not too bad of a fix. Worst part is when you remove the sway bar you will notice the front tires move back about an inch making it a little difficult to line to bolts back up but a 2x4 wrapped in cloth always does the trick for me.
