End link Removal...
Anyone know how to break loose the top bolt of end link attached to the stabilizer bar? I was able to remove the bottom bolt of the end link attached to the lower control arm. It really tight up top and a PITA to get leverage enough to break it loose. Any suggestions?

6 point socket on a 1/2 inch drive ratchet. Get a quality socket or you will round the nut off.

I'm using a 3/8 inch ratchet because the 1/2 inch ratchet head wont fit in between the small space between top nut of endlink and bodyframe. It would be nice to be able to fit the 1/2 inch though. I need a lengthier ratchet to gain more leverage. Also, it is a B*TCH to get that nut off. I understand the whole thing about holding the other side with a wrench so it doesn't keep swiveling, but the fugger won't even swivel. Nothing, Nada, Zilch. I sprayed the living cr@p out of the nut with wd40 and still wouldn't budge. Is there something I am missing here with the top nut? The bottom nut was not that much of a pain to get out.

My endlinks swivel way too freely around the joint. This usually means its worn out. I also get suspension noise. Once you hit close to 100k miles, certain things need replacing. I've taken care of my car pretty well though so not many things going wrong with it. Just normal wear and tear. How the heck were you able to fit a drill in there?

PB blaster is your friend. Works quite a bit better at penetrating and breaking loose rusted hardware. I've personally never had to take a torch to a stuck fastner thanks to the blaster.
Other them that, cut the thing off with a mini hack saw and get some adjustable Endlinks for your aftermarket sways.
