I am replacing the old end links with new Energy Suspensions ones. The old ones are cracked and such.

I have the bolt off the top of the end links and I cannot figure out a way for the bolt to come out of there. The sway bar is removed from the end link.

How do I get the bolt out of there???? Thanks.

Sounds like the bolt has siezed to the spacer, which can be very tough to get apart. You can vise-grip the spacer and turn the bolt, but that usually just chews up the spacer. You may need to replace all the hardware.

When you put it back together, buy some anti-sieze paste and reassemble

Thanks guys. Yes Ian, the spacer became one with the bolt. Nothing a 4" air powered grinder couldn't take care of though. I'm glad my buddy had one. I will be getting some air tools soon. I got the new Energy Suspension end links in and left the stock stabilizer bar ones in front alone. Leave it to Nissan to make a part that is just off a little so you can't replace it.
