Here is a photo of a rear after market sway bar(yellow makes it easy to explain), but the link is the same. Undo either of the nuts and the link can be 'unlinked'. This is sufficient to take the tension off your suspension to allow that little more room to get the shocks out. I have only ever removed the link from one side and that has been plenty.
Once you have all the bolts undone, a mate standing on the hub, or using a length of wood to lever the A arm down makes the removal of the strut easier.
