HELP CAN NOT GET THIS OFF! (Suspension)

if you take the stress off the other side aka remove the lower section of the suspension parts on the driver side, I bet that endlink wont turn and will come right off. Sometimes you can just jack up the whole front end and do it but might be easier with out the other lower section

omg, mine was the same problem, it was a nightmare on the passenger front between that sway bar bolt and the strut bolt both angling up and getting stuck, We took another jack and jacked the a-arm and you need to find the right point to kind of even it out, Took me about 2 hours on that one friggen wheel. Good luck. you will eventually get it, use something to hammer it out from the other side. the threads on mine got a little screwed up so we made sure we used the original bolt and rethreaded it on and recut the threads in a vice grip.

tried everything and still no go....
-tried jacking up the lower arm at all heights, but the angle never changed, at least not noticeable or make a difference.
-tried removing the lower two bolts that hold the hub on to swing the rotor assembly out of the way (fsport instructions).
-popped the upper a-arm ball joint off didn't do anything (that's how we did the front driver side).
-tried removing the top of the endlink that connects to the swaybar, but it was even more crooked than the lower one.
-tried hammering a punch to knock it out, but the threads catch on the other end not allowing it to fully come out.
-tried NYKnick101 suggestion to remove the bolts on the driver side to try to relieve tension, but the damn sway bar endlink was coming out crooked now too! so we ended up putting the driver side back together lol....
i'm out fresh of ideas at this point...
here are some pics...
passenger front:
lower endlink on the control arm
upper endlink on the sway bar
we did notice something looked off here, but didn't take note before uninstalling everything so not sure if normal...

Yes that how I did mine and I did it all myself with no issue. Maybe get some heavier then to hold it down while you pop it out from the top. I did what he did here https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sus...our-isx50.html. All I can say it worked easy for me.
