removal and installation of sway bar drop links on 964

[AMoore]

I am replacing the sway bar drop links on my 1993 964.  When I try to loosen the top nut that holds the link in place, it turns the entire ball joint that is attached to the nut.  How can I freeze the ball joint/bolt so that the nut can be removed?  Is there hex or torx fitting on the other side of the ball?

Do you have both wheels off the ground?

I did at the time I attempted removal.

Is this the drop link that you are replacing? there is a hex "nut" on the back end of the stud. Just use a wrench in the back and undo the top nut.

 

Good luck

Thanks for posting that Lou.

Lou, thanks.  I dropped the car off at Dougherty's.  Inexpensive install.  I had to get my front tires rebalanced anyway.
