This issues are I can't disconnect the endlink nuts holding the sway bar on the endlink. About half way off they locked on tight and won't budge an inch on or off.

I thought about diegrinding them off but.....

2. If I could remove the endlinks from the control arm (I can't) How do I get them back on. (new ones) There is no known craftman tool made fitting the discription of a deep well socket wrench with a hole in the middle so you can place an allen wrench to hole in the endlink shaft from while spinning with the nut. You see the front endlink nuts are recessed into a well in the control arm. I assume honda has a tool for this but it is not listed in the service manual.

3. I'm hoping to take my car to a meet on saturday. (700 miles away.) Waiting for a tool to be made or mail ordered is not attractive at this point. I'm assuming none of you has ever tried to remove the sway endlinks on a sixth gen Accord in the front. They are more difficult to access then the rears. I changed the rears when I installed my 19m sway outback. This is what lead me to the conclusion I could swap out the front's too. I was severly incorrect in that assumption. I'm somewhat too discusted at this point to take pictures. But if you crawl under the sixth gen Accord and look at the bolt and allen keyed stud recessed in the control arm. You will see my quagmier.
