Default Front Stabilizer (sway) bar removal?

I'm trying to install my Tein SS's right now, and in order to get the old shock assembly out, I need to disconnect the front stabilizer bar, however when I try to loosen the nut, it just keeps loosening b/c theres no bolt head to hold on to... what looks like the bolt head is a black plasticy piece w/ 4 white dots on the top of it that kinda come out of it... if anyone knows what im talking about, will you please try to explain to me how to get off the nuts? :\
