Yes, both sway bars can be removed with ease. What do you mean by "broken"? Is it split in two?

Can you post a pic of that broken sway bar? Not a very common issue.

Don't have to drop the subframe, you can dismount and remove the bar. Takes a bit of maneuvering to get it out, I've done it on a lift, not sure how high you'd have to jack it to be able to fish it out otherwise.
