How do you install a front sway bar on a corvette?
What year? Basically the bar is secured to the frame with bushings at 2 points at each end of the straight portion... and the ends are secured to the lower control arm with linkages bolts usually aprox. 6 inches to allow the control arm to go down and up with out restriction of movement. Rubber or poly material bushings are used between between the retainers and a sleve around the bolt is used in between the ends of the sway bar and the control arm. the sleeve absorbs the compression side and the bolt maintains the other when the vehicle sways.

How hard is it to fix a front sway bar on an '86 Accord DX that has just been disconnected on the passenger side?
If by "disconnected" you mean unbolted, and if by "fix" you mean re-bolting, then it's not hard. It should consist of an endlink, which is typically just a bolt that connects the end of the sway bar to the lower control arm. Endlink bushings should sit on either side of the sway bar and on either side of the lower control arm. If you look at the way the sway bar is connected on the driver's side, it should be easy to figure out.
