1) Put the parking brake on firmly. Loosen the the lug nuts about 1/4 turn on both front wheels.
2) Raise the entire front of the car (both sides) and secure it on jackstands. I use the rear of the subframe as a jack point, and the notches in the rocker panel for the jackstands.
3) Pull both front wheels. This will cut the time for the procedure in half, at the very least.
The rest is pretty simple. You never want to have only one side of the car off the ground when you are removing the end link(s). Remember, the job of the sway bar is to keep the car flat. If you have most of the weight on one side of the suspension, the sway bar is going to be loaded heavily. I pity the person who tries to remove the end link under those conditions!
And NEVER EVER EVER use a cinder block to support the car.
You'd be better off with a wicker basket! Seriously, cinder blocks are very brittle and they have been known to crumble under the weight of a vehicle, crushing anything or anyone underneath.
