Calling all Progress RSB installers - little help
So I went to install the RSb today. I started with the nut in which you need the 5mm hex key for. I got it about 3/4 of the way off, and it wouldnt budge after that. Even had my dad out there trying to brake it loose. We sprayed WD40 many times, and it still wouldnt budge. Any suggestions? I am going to get some pentrating oil and put it on tonight and try it again tomorow. Also, we didnt have much leverage with the 5mm hex key we were using, so I am going to buy the 5mm hex key that looks like a T. Maybe that will give us more leverage.
Suggestions?

I have to reuse those nuts correct? So is it going to be the same story with trying to get them back on? Or will it be easier since I already took it off and got the dirt and crap out of the threads?

I Quit
put the hex key in the bolt off of the endlink, then take a closed end wrench and slide it over the hex key and take the nut off that way, use the wrench, the hex key is just keep the bolt the nut is on from turning. I have done this many many times and it works every time, no oil or anything.

bad news
we got the drivers side bolt off, and started on the other side. got about half way, and the hex hole was stripped
what the hell to do now
i think i will buy new endlinks (anyone have suggestions on aftermarket, where to buy)
and cut the old bolt off
do the new endlinks come with all hardware?

Great, thanks for the help. I just ordered both endlinks. They were 17$ a peice. Now that I ordered them, I dont need to worry what the heck I do to these rusted nuts and bolts. I should have done this in the first place instead of trying so dam hard to get the nuts off. O well. But thanks for the help.
