Welcome to the club.
and I thought I was the only one that could do this......
I broke mine a year or so ago now.
BTW, I have spares if you end up needing another.

Hmm interesting... How the hell do you do that ... lol ...
I can't see pics (they get banned by my work proxy), but is it front or rear ???
You going to replace with stock, or use the oportunity to replace with a thicker one... Like a whilteline or something...
I am currently running my car with no front sway bar ... A little dodgy I know, but I will get it fixed one of these days ...

And Dwayne I think it was you I sold my spare one to as well

This is very dejavu!
Go with an 18mm Whiteline adjustable, not that expensive, maybe $250 & comes with all required bushes etc. Whiteline Part number is BMF44Z, you'll notice a world of difference.

Not too difficult... When I took the front out, it took a while though ... First time I had ever done it... There were a few few mounts holding it in place but not too difficult...
If you had it on a hoist it would be heaps easier IMO....
