I have a 99 SI civic and I was trying to take off my rear sway bar to put on my suspension tech sway bar and i cannot remove my drivers side end links that connect to my lower control arm and when i spin the nut the whole stud spins with it so i re-tighted it up and now i hear a clanking noise everytime I hit a bump. Does any body have any suggestions on how they got theres off. Detailed picks would help me out a lot if anybody has them installing there suspension tech sway bar on a em1 Si. Thanks

 

I got mine off using an impact on the bottom and a ratchet on top with an extension. Other than that, I took a grinder to it and just ripped the bolt out. It was rusted to ****.

 

5 or 6 mm allen key goes in the same side of the endlink as the nut, so use a open end wrench or a pass-through socket. also, apply WD40 liberally

Thanks guys I will try that. Does anybody have any pics of the suspension tech rear sway bar on there em1 SI I did a search and it wasn't very helpful so pics will be greatly appreciated.

 

you need a alan key and open socket wrench.....

 

Its a 5mm Allen wrench. I just installed an ITR bar with Si endlinks on my EK today.

 

That liquid wrench spray is your friend, hose that bitch down and let it sit for ~10 min. Don't distroy the endlinks, you can sell them really easily.
