Use some soapy water and a lot of swear words.  I'd put the bushing on the
sway bar first, then the link on the bushing.  A note of caution--after you
get them on there, the nuts are supposed to take something like 32 ft. lbs.
of torque.  With the soapy water still on there, it's really easy to twist
the link back off the bushing again....not that I've ever done this twice in
one day or anything.....
