2016 GL450 front sway bar end link replacement

Hello, does anyone have replaced their front sway bar end links? is it a DIY thing? I have a 2016 GL450 and i can hear some rattling noises from the right front wheel area. I am trying to start with replacing the sway bar end links first before doing the bigger jobs (suspensions, etc). Car has 36k miles. If it is a DIY, is there instructions out there or how to's video that I can review? Thank you - appreciate all your helps.

Its a simple swap. Helps if you have a hex bit socket set. Search on youtube to see how its done. Even if its not specifically a video on a 2016 GLS450, it'll be similar enough that you can figure it out. Use the jackstand on the frame and the jack to raise and low the lower control arm to find the sweet spot to pull the sway bar out.
