Hi everyone,
While doing yesterday's oil change on my '06 6MT, I saw one of my end links separated.

I suspect I'll need to put the new ones in using a jack and stands, but I wanted to ask if anyone has done it using ramps instead?
I ask because I also need to repair my jack, and that's actually a more involved process than the end links...
TIA

you should be able to do it on ramps, on the floor, on stands, etc.

Be prepared to cut the old one off with a die grinder or a cut off wheel...

You probably will have to hold the stud with a hex wrench (5 or 6 mm) when you turn the hex nut otherwise the stud turns with the nut
I've changed them on Accords, Odysseys, and a TSX.
It helps to have a pry bar to pry on the sway bar to line up the new end link studs with the mounting holes.
It's best to remove the tire for better access.

Torch them off if you have the equipment. If the fronts need replacing, you may as well replace the rears as well. They won't be in much better condition.

Yea, really it's all seized together if the car sees salt so I've only gotten the allen wrench thing to work in practice once or twice. I just cut them all off now.
