get a small pair of vise grips and grab the inside of the endlink with em The nuts are self locking so its going to be a paint all the way of.

I got a 02 civic ex and i put the skunk2 coilovers on and I am disgusted with the snapping and popping they make I talked to some people and they dont know what to make of it. I got the front raised all the way and it leaves me with like half an inch from my tire to the well.....I wanna get rid of them im terrified to drive it just keeps getting worse.... Got any suggestions for any kits? Is B+G pretty good.

yep a 5mm allen wrech is needed...and you cannot use a socket wretch either so it makes the job that much harder without the right tools. But the endlinks are the most difficult...after that everything is easy. Also remember to put your RSX sway bar on the right way

I had the same problem!

I was trying to use a ratchet...no dice. So I switched to an allen key and a wrench...no dice.

SO..then I fired up the air compressor. I used the less powerful air ratchet, and it came off without even having to worry about the allen key part!

find a friend with an air compressor, and do the stuff at his/her house!

I just vised it with a wrench and turned it with all my strength.
Although I did strip the nut pretty badly.
