Cant get endlinks off..
Cant get endlinks off..
i was trying to swap sway bars and i couldnt get the endlink off and ended up stripping the allen key hole on the endlink..any suggestions on how to fix this?
At work I usually use a good pry bar to put pressure on the end link and my trust 1/2 inch impact. Definately replace the end link once you have it apart. Worst case scenario, cut it off with a reciprocating saw or cut off wheel. A dremel would probably work too.
I have grabbed the round lip on the inside of the link where it contacts the sway bar with a LARGE needle nose vice grip and some brute clamping force. Then I knock the nut off with an impact gun.

Same here...I found that I need to use a second jack to take the load off the endlink to take it out by hand...not by HAMMER! Learned the hard way...used vice grips to hold the threads and impact hammer to take off the nut and replaced the whole thing...45 bucks from acura...expensive stupid mistake.
