How to remove S5 stabilizer bar end links
Well, it seems simple enough. 2 bolts.
The bottom was easy enough. However i don't understand how to remove the top bolt out of the series 5 end link. when i try to take the nut off the bolt just spins, and there is no way to "grab" the other end of the bolt because it goes into the end link.
it's easy on the S4 because you can put a wrench on the other side to stop the bolt from spinning. however on the S5 it's closed off.
Has anyone taken the end link off a Series 5 front stabilizer bar before? How is it done?
thanks
EDIT: i've attached a picture just to specify what i'm talking about

yup, that makes sense now. simple but kind of weird. thanks Kevin.
i see now though that the S5 end links you can actually adjust the "preload" on, unlike the S4. so i'm not quite sure if the Racing Beat adjustable end links i got were even worth it other than being new and "stiffer".
