Kinda need some help Options

[dustin15brown]

Ok everyone. I was installing the last Tein S-Tech lowering sring and I rounded off the sway bar bolt. The actual inner piece that requires an allen key/wrench is the rounded off part. What are my options for fixing this? Anyone else have this problem? I'm kind of at a standstill until I come up with something and I'm fresh outta ideas.

Any ideas? Any one?

electric doesnt have much power, i used a makita hi-end electric impact and it barely got the job done and the bolts were tight since i just worked on my suspension not to long ago.

it depends on the electric, if the makita was cordless...well thats the problem.


i have a 240FT/lb corded impact and a 460FT/lb air impact. ive used them both equally and i enjoy the ease of the electric. a 500ft/lb electric is more than enough power for suspension. just remember not to ride the trigger too long or else you can burn out the motor.

I have an impact gun... hooked up to our air compressor tank... Pretty nice and pretty powerful.... But how would that work? I mean the how to says that you must hold that nut in place while unscrewing with the allen wrench... So I don't see how an impact gun would any? For those of you who broke yours or cut them off... How much were new ones and where did you get them? Thanks in advance

get a wrench on the other side and wedge it agaist the car body or the ground. or use that pipe i mentioned....stick the box end over the bolt head and the open end down the pipe, then turn the bolt till the pipe is wedge against the ground. then use the impact.
