I was installing my rsx-s 19mm sway bar, and while removing the endlink bolts, i didn't realize you are supposed to use an allen wrench in the end of the bolt. anyways, i just turned the 14mm bolt until the whole bolt and everything was turning! afterwards i saw your supposed to hold the bolt with an allen wrench and then use the wrench to get it off. Anyways, i inspected the rubber boot, it looks okay, do you think the endlinks will be okay? I pried on the pretty hard, and like I said, the hole was was just turning. Please help me....

Should be OK if the boot is intact. Just make sure you use a lot of WD-40/Liquid Wrench to loosen up the bloody thing, then put the allen wrench on and use a 14mm wrench to get that sucker off.

Its a ball joint. Its supposed to spin. Thats why you need the 5mm allen wrench, to hold it still.

As long as you weren't using an air tool to try to spin the nut without holding the stud you should be ok. Like rob said it is designed to turn but if its turned excessively it can cause damage to the joint.
