Help please - Rear Sway Bar end links

Installing the standard bunch of stuff from Re-speed, and I'm starting on the rear.
The front is next weekend, assuming I can get this in a reasonable amount of time.

Stuff I'm working on right now:

Rear springs & respeed adjustable perch
Rear shocks (illumina)
Rear bushings (energy)
Rear sway bar end links

While I'm down there, I'm changing the diff oil.

With an impact gun and a 24" power bar, I seem to be able to get most things, but I'm still fighting with the top Watts link, and I can't get the sway bar end links off the car. The bar end came off easy enough. I'm having trouble getting my grinder in there to cut them, any tips?

Thanks,

Craig

Nevermind, got them cut off. Just needed a little persuasion to get my grinder in there.

The front is easy unless the front control arm bushing bolt is frozen/rusted through. Then it becomes a bitch to get out.

Glad you got it sorted. Good luck with the rest of the upgrades. You are going to have a very happy car when finished.
