FD: rear stab control link won't come out
Hey..
So i remove the nut off the bolt (prior to this i losened the spring), i can get that bolt about half way out of the shock using screw driver and a hammer, the rest won't come out.
Here is the manual pictures, stabilizer control link is #2 that I am having trouble removing all the way to let the shock go:

You have to disconnect the swaybar so you can remove the shock mounting bolt.
You've probably only got one side of the car jacked up so the rear swaybar is deflecting. Jacking up both rear tires will take the stress off of the swaybar and allow the bolt to slide out of the swaybar easily. Then you can remove the shock mount bolt from the upright.
