Just replaced mine and just FYI, you really don't need to remove the tie rod ends. It's just an extra unnecessary step. I just lowered it down with a jack and gave it a shake and the shock popped on out.

Also if you don't have a socket wrench with the through socket type, a 17mm wrench fits over a flat area around half way down the bolt for the sway bar links which allows you to easily loosen and tighten the bolt.
