heres what to do.
spray the old links down really well with PB blaster like 15min before you start,
put a 14mm boxed end wrench over the old end link bolt, turn it, to break it loose from the mounting tab.
then
get a 5mm allen SOCKET.
this is what it looks like:

hammer it into the old endlink.
attach a wrachet to the socket, and use that to hold the bolt in place, and turn the 14mm WRENCH, not the socket
take your time, and follow the directions, its works every time.

Manny, thanks so much. I trust you as a resource. I just bought the 5mm allen socket at Sears today, the PB Blaster, and the longest 14mm boxed end wrench I could find, and I should be ready to roll soon, once I order the Teins. wink.gif
