Default Need Help With Sway Bar Endlink ASAP

hey guys,
I'm installing my front springs right now. I got the right side out and done fine. When I am doing the left side, I am using my hydro jack to jack on the sway bar to get the endlink bolt out and it's not coming out. When I am jacking up on the sway bar, the whole control arm/suspension is going up too. How do I get the endlink off? Just remove the top endlink bolt and take the whole endlink off?

Any help would great be appreciated

make sure you have both wheels off the ground and unloaded. If you load the sway bar itll be under force and hold the endlink in the lower arm.

If you have both wheels off the ground and the sway unloaded and its not coming out..........it may need a little encouragement.

The best way to get the endlinks off the car I have found is to remove the strut bar from the car completely. As well as the brackets.

You have a rather limited amount of space to get to the endlinks.

Plus taking the sways off require about 10 or so bolts only.

Yea in the end my mechanic bro-in-law came over. He couldn't get it out so he ended up loosening the sway bar bracket on that side and then he got it out. Too bad he was in a rush and forgot to put back on that plastic part that attaches to the bottom of the spring. Now i gotta do it all over again

thanks for the input!
