Default Help!

When I go to remove my rear swaybar links I hit them with the battery impact and all they do is spin. I tried the allen wrench with a wrench and there on way too tight to get off. Anyone got any ideas how to remove these easily so I dont have to cut them?

Have you tried soaking them with WD-40 or Liquid Wrench? How about using extensions on the end of the allen wrench? I sometimes use the hole end of an adjustable wrench to hook onto an allen wrench to get more torque.

A Dremel tool with a cutoff wheel is what I use. Just have at least 5 blades handy - they break apart very easily.
