unbolt old stabilizer. remove it. (pickle fork or mallet may be helpful here) Examine mounting points on truck for damage or excessive wear, they should be fine. Install new stabilizer. enjoy.

with due respect you missed out the swearing and belting the life out of it with a big hammer , seriously, a bit of heat can be usefull doing this job, unless i just happened to pick 3 trucks that where bad to fit them to lol.

yeah, the cussing and hell raising arent mentioned in the instructons either..lol its easier if you can take out the tie rod, and have everything sitting on the table.. use a heat gun, and PB Blaster, then cuss out your neighbor for being nosey (lol) then it should wiggle off with a little convincing..good luck
