Front drop links

One of the front drop links has sheared in half:

I didn't get a chance to take the other wheel off to compare this weekend but I'm guessing that normally the top of the drop link is attached to the round black thing on the end of the red bar, is that correct?

 

Figured I'd have a go at replacing it myself and will do both of them. Is the process as easy as unbolting each and and re-bolting the new one on or is there something more to it? Do I need any special tools?

 

Planning to track the car so can you recommend some good hard wearing drop links?

They should be attached yes. Replacing them is easy, but if you find the whole balljoint spinning you may need to remove them with an angle grinder, it's how I did mine. If you're lucky there'll be flat spots on the ball joint you can hold with a spanner to stop them spinning.
