Ok, I really messed up an install of the TL/AV6 larger front sway bar on my I4 Accord.

Anyhow, I jammed the top nuts (half way off), holding the sway bar to the upper half of the endlinks. Normally this wouldn't be an issue and I would just remove the endlinks from the control arm and remove them from the sway or buy new ones.

Except I don't have a wrench/allen key combo that will reach into the recess in the lower control arm to pull the nut off.

How does Honda pull this nut off? (From the endlink and lower control arm.)

I can't drive my car and I am taking into Honda on Friday for new endlinks and let them install my larger front sway bar.

Just curios since I get to pay my dealer an unknown amount of money to install my new sway and new endlinks now. :mad:

I really hope they get it done in one day and don't try and teach me a lesson or something. I have an appointment for Friday morning.

I've heard of people putting the larger sway bars from the TL/CL on the rear for better handling, but never the front. Wouldn't that induce more understeer?

I'm trying to reduce over all body roll.

I want better handling on -- on and off ramps.

Increasing the rear sway dramatically improved high speed stability.

Since all 4cyl after market front sway are 26mm too I figure I must be in the ball park.
