Default Sway bar install question

I was going to start my rear Daizen sway bar install today... I unbolted the passenger side bushing clamp--no problem...then I went to unbolt the OEM sway bar from what I think is the end link (one bolt), and once it loosened it just kept turning and turning but not coming apart. I see only smooth surface on the other side, so I can't grab it from behind too. What am I missing?

Insert an allen key at the end of the endlink bolt. I think it was 4-4.5mm? . Most people dont see it. Use the key to hold it while using an open end wrench to unloosen the nut.

that or if u got room, use a vice grip to hold the inside of the end link, probably not the best, but it works too. just be careful the vice grip is on tight and u dont end up stripping it.
