Picked up two new front sway bar end links to replace them after an inspection of my vehicle revealed that they were shot (and new found noise in the front).
Anyway, put the front on jackstands yesterday, took the wheels off, and was able to remove the top bolt of each sway bar end link (which faces out) with no problem at all using a wrench to keep the bolt from turning, and an air tool.
What about the bottom bolt on each side?! Man, I hate doing a job halfway, not being able to proceed, and having to put it back together with the old parts! Couldn't get that damn nut off the lower bolt of the sway bar end link where it connect to the actual sway bar. Couldn't even turn it, and couldn't get the compressed air tool on it. It seems pretty hard to get any amount of torque on the nut since you're reaching into the wheel well behind the rotor. Even if I could turn it, I would need to get another wrench wedged in to prevent the end link bolt from turning in the end link ball joint.
Note, this is the nut that faces in towards the wheel well splash guard.
Anyone give me a tip on how to get at this thing??
Thanks,
Massiv.
