Sway Bar end links
« on: December 11, 2006, 03:08:56 AM »
Trying to get the new ones in...but have been unable to get the broke bolt action out of the sway bar end (the top end bolt that fails)...Does it actually have to screw out or do I continue to use the BFH? (02 TJ)  
Thanks for the help in advance [/url]

Its a tapared fit.

Get a freind, or the wife to help.

Have them hold a small pickle fork around the ball and apply some pressure.

Take 2 hammers, and smack the the swaybar, (not the bolt) from both sides.

Repeat that as many times as it takes. Eventually, the tapared bolt will just vibrate loose and pop right out.

When I swapped out my end links, I just went to crappy tire and rented a tie rod remover.

Part Source "rents" the removers as well...they just take a security deposit and it's returned when the tools are returned
