sway bar end link, its better off if you cut the bolt since all it does is just turn around and around.

^^^^huh? the bolt end has a hex cutout. Use a 5mm allen wrench in the end of the bolt and IIRC a 14mm wrench on the nut. I'd soak the nut/bolt with PB or Deep Creap for an hour prior to removal.

Agree with this, soak the hell out of it. Those are a pain even with the 5mm allen. GL!

You got some aftermarket axles there. Any vibrations on acceleration?

I would just cut it off too. So much easier than dealing with rust. Yes there is a hexagonal hole on top, but I've seen people strip those like they're made of hot butter.

My old accord rusted so bad that it won't come out so I end up cutting the bolt off.
