Sway Bar Endlinks

How do I get these things off of the sway bar and the suspension fork? The bolts do not back out, they just spin...
Is there a trick here?

I'm trying to replace my swaybar and various other suspension components., but these are giving me a bit of trouble.

use a allen key/hex, put it in the middle of the bold and use an open end wrench.

If that don't work - if they're stripped - a reciprocating saw will be your best freind.

If you haven't touched the hex hole yet, then spray PB Blaster and let it sit for a while. You want as much of the rust broken down as possible before holding the hex key. They're very easy to strip.

I will try that...
Does anybody have a part number for the left and right rear end links?
Whichever is cheaper, Moog or OEM.

I have a clunking in my rear suspension, and Im pretty sure thats where its coming from.

That's all four corners, my invoice didn't say which is which. Check rockauto.com, should match these.

Just cut off those POS oem ones and use MOOG end-links as recommended. They're phenomenally better than the oem ones. I have a set on the rear with an Eibach rear sway and it's been fantastic since install.

Mines stripped so I had to POP that little bastard out of the joint so I could Install my new Rear Struts, Used a Caliper pressure tool to put it back together. The little rubber part covering the joint was damaged in the process but doesnt matter im saving for the MOOGs until i have them, My Eibach ARBs are sittin there useless on my garage.....

Shit Happends....

When I replaced mines I used a vise grip plier and an open ended wrench, it eventually loosened up.

+1 on the vise grip.
Grab the stud on the sway bar side of the link and clamp down over the rubber boot to hold it from spinning.
Yes you will destroy the boot but your replacing the link anyway.
