I removed the upper parts but unable to remove the lower parts. The bolts keep turning but the nuts won't come off. Any tips ?

 

there is a allen wrench slot for an allen wrench, put the allen wrench in there to prevent the bolt from turning all together. you have to use an adjustable wrench to take it off or a 16mm ratcheting wrench

 

I did that for the upper parts. The lower parts have a very very small hole and it doesn't looks like an allen wrench slot. Did you removed your this way ?

 

the lower on the rear does not have a allen key (socket head cap) you need to buy a cheep 16mm i beleve that is what size it is, and grind it down till it will fit on the ball side. it will need to be prity thin some were in the ballpark of about 1/8 inch may be slighly smaler. then you will be able to pull the end likes

 

16 mm 6 point wrench is best.

 

The nut keep twisting but come out. I'll have to figure something out

 

I really didn't have a problem removing my lowers. What bolt/nut are you having trouble with? The bolt/nut closest to the center of the car or nearest to the rear dampers?

 

I found a solution. Next to the endlink’s pivot point, the bolt is not completely round. There are two flat points that I can slide the 19mm opem-end wrench over to keep the bolt from spinning. I used the 16mm socket to remove the bolt keeping the endlink connected to the shock body.

 

Thats what he said

 

so i was trying to remove my rear endlinks and i couldn't find a way for the bolt to stop spinning, i don't have anything that can fit in teh 2 slots, its just too small for any of my wrenches to fit. is there any more help i can get on this?? i don't want to bring it into a shop. everything to my mini is gonna get done by me and my friend.

 

c'mon anybody out there that can help me out??

 

Not being a smart a$$ but they suggested everything but using a dremel.
IF you cant get an allen wrench and a 16mm, then grab your extension cord and your dremel with some cutting discs.

 

aight so removed mine a week ago and got me a small lock wrench from harbor frieght...



jsut clamp that on and shabaam it holds it from spinning, no need to dremel.
