Stabilizer Bar Nuts

[arpuS]

STOP THE DAMN THINGS FROM TURNING!!!!!!!!!!

I bought my self some 30mm lowering spring for £30 to fit them myself.. (i hate paying someone silly money to fit things that i could do myself, albeit a bit longer)..

i jack up the car, take off the whell, and get a spanner on the stabilizer bar nuts... and it just turns.. the 5mm hex hole n the middle of the nut is too rusted to do anything with.

So HOWcan i stop it turning??

please help.

Hi Tony welcome to TOC :group-cuddles:

If the hex hole is nackered anyway, beat a size bigger allenkey into it. Place a wooden block or similar behind the bolt to steady it!

i usualy use pointed vise grips to get a hold where the rubber boot is,sometimes this is not enough and a little heat is needed which can lead to the bar wearing quickly...other option is to get new links

thanks for the reply guys...

i've tried lookin for new linkages but to no avail.

i'll try the grab the ruddy things in the vice thing in the morrow.

other than that, i'll just have to leave it for now.
