sway bar end link question
I've been trying to install fsport sway bars. My front and rear sway bar end links were all rusted solid. No big deal, out came the pb blaster and breaker bar. I broke them free; however, in doing so the nut now spins with the bolt and will not come off. Is there a trick to keep the bolt from spinning while I unscrew the nut or are my end links toast?
This shouldn't be this hard!

The end links I had on my 2IS had an hex head end on it. So while you turned on the nut, you keep the threaded portion in place with the allen key. Unfortunately mine were rusted so badly that when I tried the above, that I stripped the hex portion. So I just cut them off with my Dremel, removed the end links and sway bar, and ordered new end links. For that one week, I drove around with no sway bar.
Good luck!

I ended up taking a vice grip to keep the bolt from spinning. They were hell to get off, but they're off.
I can't stress how great our Sewell discounts are. Sewell charges $71 per end link, my local dealer charges $125 per. I sprung for 2 day shipping and should have all four tomorrow. Even with shipping, they are substantially cheaper, I'll get them same day as if I bought them from the dealer, and I dont have to deal with traffic while driving to the dealership.
