Try an impact gun or drill it out and buy a new end link.

Did you use an "L" shaped or T handle tool?

drill it out. make sure you have good bits. might also try an easy-out, but I've never tried one on an ex-allen connector

The back side of the link has a flat spot. You can get a vice grip on it, but you may damage the rubber boot. I stripped one on Crashy, when I was building her lift kit, and I did the vice grip trick and was able to remove, extend, and reinstal the link.

Dealer, or I have seen aftermarket ones on eBay for $25 each, so auto parts stores may have them as well.

I think the allen in the center of those bolts is the STUPIDEST idea people have! For those of us who drive in the snow and salt, after a few years it becomes impossible to cleanly get those end links off. But I agree with CTScott, vice-grip it!

I'm going to try and find liquid wrench that sounds like fun. Do you think they sell that at walmart?
