I found the easiest way to deal with the end links was to disconnect them from the transverse bar (at the bottom), take the anti-roll bar completely out of the car, then work on loosening the end links on a workbench.

It is because the bar is still loaded, the side you took the pic of , jack up the suspension slightly from under the spindle till you can slide the end link out.

That link still shows his old design. I'm running them and they are fine, but he just sent me a picture of his newly redesigned endlinks. I will be getting those soon. Can't go wrong either way with his stuff.
