So I gathered the tools (and beer) and went through the process of replacing the sway bar endlinks at all 4 corners on my 09.
The studs were all pretty much frozen into the sway bars so ball joint removal tools are required to separate them. I used a "finger" type separate for the front links and top of the rear links, and a "Fork" type for the bottom of the rear links.
When the links are loose the sway bar can be moved in order to remove and replace.
Replacement parts used are MOOG (re-use stock nuts, the new MOOG nuts do not thread smoothly)
Front K750254 (with zerk fittings for greasing)
Rear K750518 (sealed)
