Sway bar is 4 bolts to unbolt from the control arms and it swings down out of the way while still attached to the k-frame. Much less effort to just undo them and not have the bar fighting you the entire time

Not pulling the speed sensor is but guaranteed to damage the plastic drive gear. I have a box of destroyed speedo gears to attest to from idiots who left it installed while removing the p-side axle. Its one 10mm bolt to remove the sensor and set it safely out of the way...

And there are no clips on the inner axle ends.
