I started with the Driver's side rear but couldn't get the top nut off the sway bar endlink.
The bolt was kind of rusty and ended stripping at the end where the 7mm wrench is supposed to hold it still. So now I'm left to using a set of vice grips, which is proving to be impossible.
After trying to do the job with wrenches I put an impact gun on it and it still wouldn't spin off!
My buddy suggested I pop the white cap off the outside of the endlink. Thinking that there may be a bolt behind there to hold onto. NOPE, just a ball end with grease.
Now I have to replace that piece and I'm not finding anything aftermarket (that wouldn't rust). I'm sure I could get another stock endlink from the dealership, if that's my only option.
Has anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions? Am I the only jackass that can't do his own springs right the first time?
Thanks for any help!
