Help!! Rear end link question

Hi everyone, I'm trying to install coilovers on my 08 TL and I have a question about the rear endlink. I tried to take the right rear endlink off but i didn't used an allen key to hold the bolt in place and it just spun in place. Could this have messed up the endlink? Do I need to get a new endlink? The bolt doesn't come out or anything. Could this mess up the suspension geometry? Thanks for looking.

it's fine don't worry. So you still have to get it off to remove the suspension? If so, just remove the 14mm bolt that holds the endlink bracket to the rear spindle. Makes it so you can remove the suspension without messing with those stupid endlinks.

did you remove the bolt and then move your endlink out of the way for clearance to remove the whole assembly?

You have to raise the knuckle to create a big enough gap to screw it out.
