i need to replace the endlink bushings. how hard are they to replace? are any special tools needed? and if all goes bad can i drive it to a shop w/o the sway bar and endlinks on?
Its not hard but alot of the time they can be rusted and not want to come apart. It takes either two 9/16 or two 1/2 inch wrenches. You might want to get the whole endlink kit, not just the bushings. The can be wore down where it bolts to the control arm and break. You will be fine driving without them if you can't do it. Just a little more body roll in the front.
Hmm. Mine just unbolted fine. Thank god for a southern car. Ive not come across one rusted bolt on that car (havent messed with the water pump though).
