Im following those, the bolts are like stuck in the spindle and the sway bar

 

Wd-40 and a hammer but put the nut back on then tap them out

 

Try relieving pressure on the spindle to release the bolts, its possible you have tension on them preventing you from taking the bolt out.

Then again, provide pictures of where you are at so i can make sure you arent about to kill yourself.

x2 impact

 

Pictures will be posted

 

ooo the strut to knuckle bolts, put the nut back on just enough for the inside of the nut to be covered in thread,and take a hammer to it....The bolts ends have a spline, make sure to mark with a sharpie the realtionship between the bolt end to hub so you not make new cuts in the spline when reinstalling ....good luck

 

I have done this a million times lol pm if you need further help and you can give me a call

 

Or like i did and dont bother with the nut and just have a rubber 5lb mallet and 4 hits and done.

 

that works too! any way as long as you dont mushroom/damage the threads

 

The swaybar link is probably rusted and the bolt stripped. I can almost guarantee that the issue if you drove your car in the winter. Go to Advance and pick up a set of MOOG endlinks and cut the bolts to the old one. What's happening is the bolt is spinning with the nut because the OEM ones SUCK.

 

Rubber mallet doesnt cause any damage

 

I usually use vice grips and a 18v impact. Works good. Never heard of this MOOG endlinks. Ima look into thoses

EDIT: Did you mean MOOG Tie-Rod Ends?

 

for the front sway bar endlink u need to use a wrench in the middle of the bolt to hold it from spinning. unless its stripped out like the last guy said.
