Arrow S5 front sway bar removal?

hey guys,
I cant get the sway off at the ends of it (tierod ends?) I can loosen the nuts but they keep spinning there. This part of it is not similar to the S4 model i have.. Is there someway to getting it off the ends or should the nut just come off? thanks guys!

Tyler

I took off my sway bar today. I undid the other bolt/nut on the link and took out the bar with the links attached to it. The bolt/nut that attaches to the control arm. I am not sure what you are trying to do, I only had to change the bushings on the bar, so that worked for me.

You can try to dremel the bolt/nut off, if you don't mind getting a new one. I am swapping out the end links too so I am just tossing the whole assembly, but I've had to do that on a few other parts of this car.

I thought there was an allen wrench fitting inside the bolt? I did mine a while back and had the same problem until I realized that.

that would be easy if it was a S4 type Sway Bar End Link but because its an S5 it has a ball in the end which lets the end link pivit.. but you cant get to this ball and theres no way to pull it out of the end link.. so i guess this bolt somehow needs to some off the end..
