Help please - damaged allen socket in bolt when installing RSB
Tried to install my progress RSB today. There was a fair amount of rust on the nuts and bolts at the end of the sway bar so I used WD40. Got one end off with some difficulty. When trying to get the other end off, I stripped the inside of the allen socket. The allen wrench now has no grip and I cannot get nut off the bolt. What the heck do I do now? Do I need to replace that little arm (don't know the name) that attaches to the end of the RSB if I cannot get the nut off? Can I get it at a local parts store or will I have to order one from Acura?

OK, so what I called "little arm" above is the end link. I am guessing I will have to replace the end links since I cannot undo them from the bar because of the stripped allen socket. Are there any good afer market end links, or should I just order OEM ones from the dealer?

See if parts store has the right one in polyurethane for you, otherwise they carry stock type at most parts stores
