Front sway bar end link install Question

I installed a wonder bar and ext greasable sway bar bushings on my 1991 RS.
Can I now install new front sway bar end links without removing or loosening the sway bar bolts?

In other words, can I just cut the old end links while the car is on the ground without messing with sway bar bolts?

I think I can get to them without putting the car on jack stands.
Thanks in advance!
Chris

yes you should be able to remove the old endlinks and install new ones, the way you did it is the best because u will have the right angle(suspension loaded) and be all set to tighten down to torque specs (16 foot pounds i think).

Thanks MDFormula.
So, I need to install the front sway bar end links with the suspension loaded? ie tires on ground or on ramps. Not with car on jack stands with the tires off the ground.
I should have done this when I installed the wonder bar and sway bar bushings, but ran out of time today. I couldn't get the d%*n bolt off the end link.
Probably the only 60 degree day for the next 3 months.
Thanks

yeah lift the car in the air then put jackstands under the front a-arms (close to full suspension loaded) and go to town.
