Was wondering if anyone could give me any insight. My clevis busted up near the top bolt area so I am trying to remove it so I can replace it with another one I got.

It seems no matter what I can not get the lower bolt on the sway bar end link. It just spins in both ends. There was a metal tab in it that busted off while trying. I've tried it both with full weight on the vehicle and while jacked

It does the same thing on the lower bolt on the clevis fork as well.

I've been messing with it for a good 4 hours now and I haven't even got the first bolt removed and I am about to lose my mind lol

Take the top bolt of for the swaybar,15mm and 18mm needed.

For the lower clevis bolt you will have to use a 6 point socket if that tab completely broke off or a pair of visegrips.My tabs broke off the lower clevis bolts,just used a 18mm socket if I remember correctly.

Luckily the tab is still on the bottom clevis just the one on the bottom sway bar end link came off. The first time I did all of this about a year ago it seemed so much easier lol
