You could take a caliper and measure it.

Start sticking wrenches on it until you find one that just fits. Read the size off the wrench. Voila! Poor man's caliper.

One more suggestion - take a piece of twine, wrap it around the sway bar, and make a mark across both sides where it crosses.
Take it off, measure between the marks, and divide by 3.14 .
That won't be perfect, but you'll be within a small fraction of a millimeter and an even smaller fraction of an inch.
