I am changing the rear sway bar bushings and wondered from experience if my plan looks practical.
Do I need to buy an electric impact driver to get this 15mm nut off?
I have a floor jack low enough to raise the rear of from this center support I see.
Will that take the load off the suspension. Any issues I might run into?
I don't have a lot of tools, what else do I need, I have 2 jack stands once I raise the center, to put on the jack points if needed.

Not sure I understand your question. You do not need to undo the drop links to change the sway bar bushings. Just take a 13mm socket to these two bolts. The bushings themselves ate split in the middle and just pull off. Slip new ones on and retighten the bolts to about 17 foot pounds. I use a little thread locker on them
Oh! I was in a forum where they're going through this complex way of putting the whole car on jack stands, then another guy said no you use rams not jack stands, etc. Suspension loaded which is done on ramps or on the ground, another guy said on jack stands so suspension is "compressed", etc...Got so involved, I gave up on the idea. LOL!
