Default rear sway endlink removal--AARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!

Searched and didn't find anything on removal.

I just started to do the install on my ST rear sway/tie combo, and I'm stuck at the first step. Is there a trick to removing the endlinks from the LCA (and the swaybar for that matter)??? I'm stuck turning the nut and having it spin freely inside the endlink instead of coming off.

Haynes manual wasn't of much use, neither were the ST instructions--both just said to "remove endlinks". Thanks.

Any and all help is welcome.

don't you have to insert a hex key into the bolt, and then spin the nut holding the endlink into the lca?

Wow--I'm retarded. I was busy going at it with a ratchet, looking at the hex head, but totally ignoring it. Shoot me.

I think I'll just let the WD40 soak into everything overnight and go at it at a later date.

thanks.

Any other insight is still welcome, though.

yeah, it's like a small hex key that you turn the other way while loosening the nut that holds the swaybar. the endlink bolt that connects to the LCA shouldn't spin if i remember correctly
