    Difficult endlink bolts

    So the other day I was attempting to change out my swaybar endlinks and the outer bolt just will NOT come loose. I use a wrench to keep the inner one from spinning while I try to loosen the outer one to remove the end-link, and the damn thing just will not budge. Any tips to going about this? Its really bugging me l:

    wd-40 or some penetrant. Double wrench it for more torque. Man up!

      Is this the double wrenching technique you speak of?

        I always use the above technique anyplace where breaking bar wouldn't fit.
