Default Replacing axle shaft ?'s

Ok, so I hit a curb with the rear tire and bent the axle. I ordered a new 28 spline axle shaft with new seals to put in. Is it a pretty easy install. I noticed my car has a sway bay, and then what looks like another sway bar that goes right over the diff cover. I assume this is aftermarket? Does anyone have any tips for known issues replacing the axle shaft?

Axle was bent bad, had to take a sledge to the axle to get to the c-clip.

from what O have read and seen, make sure you take the ABS sensor of IF you have one, remove caliper and rotor, take off diff cover, remove bolt that holds in the center pin of the carrier. slide the pin out and will be able to push each axle in to get to the C clips. then reverse the process.

Yup make sure that damn ABS sensor is out i spent a few hours trying to pull my c clips when i did my rear brake upgrade only to realize i needed to take the ABS sensor off and they would then just fall out.
