Default Help removing stock rear sway bar '00 Civic SI

I am attempting to remove the stock SI rear sway bar and have run into a bit of a problem.

The bolt that goes through the rear LCA just turns and turns, doesnt get looser or tighter.
How do I hold the bolt solid so I can remove the nut?

I will continue to search through H-T's archive but I need help asap. Please help.

Small clarification, I'm actually having trouble removing the endlinks, dont know if that was clear in my description.
I need to remove the nut from the bold that holds the end links for the sway bar to the rear LCAs.

The stud has an allen key hole in it (think i told you this before) - put an allen in the hole, hold it, turn the nut
If this allen hole is stripped/rounded....youre kinda screwed and will have to cut it off

ahh, yes, there is indeed an allen key hole, did not see that, or perhaps remember that.

I know I tried to do this once a year or so ago so I may very well have asked already, thanks very much

(when I read the manual it just says "Remove the nut" not so handy)

yeah, the allen key hole is stripped like crazy wow.

looks like I will have to drill it out... but come to find my drill and all its bits are missing... i suspect borrowed without asking/theft is at fault here
