Yours is a little different but on my 89 bighorn I unbolt the top nut and remove bushes both sides push the bar up out of the wat then put the bushes and nuts back on the link. No problems finding the parts on Wof day just undo the 2 nuts and remove top bush pull bar back onto link replace bushes and nuts.
Its annoying when they pick you up on this stuff especially as they know that even when it is back in place its only to keep them happy. I had one Wof where I forgot to connect it. Went back to pick up the truck and said to mechanic I know about the tie rod end and wheel bearing was there anything else. He said I passed the tie rod but it will need doing next time. Couldnt find anything wrong with the bearing (it seized 2 weeks later) but you need to reconnect your sway bar. I have heard the opposite though where mechanic demanded the cruiser came in on its normal tyres not its legal tyres as he couldnt get it to move off without lighting the tyres. 400kw in FJ40 on 235/80/16s tends to do that.
Sanding your knuckles before starting work can help. That way you cant skin them
