sway bar endlinks

I have a 86 4runner, are there two nuts on the endlinks or is one a bolt head? I was able to remove the sway bar from my truck but cant remove the endlinks from the sway bar. Any Help

sway bar links

The end link is just like one long bolt. If you already disconnected it from the lower control arm and it's still not coming apart-it's rusted together. They look like the one's here:

That's where I got mine from and delivered quickly.

Throw the sway bar in the garbage and run without it. The ride is much better and the body roll is not that much worse then with it.. This is the first thing to go when I get a new Toy.

Soak it real good with some PB blaster for a couple of days. Then beat 'em out with a shop hammer...if they're really rusted badly.

But, keep it. It'll help keep the sucker from flipping if you ever have to swerve in an emergency. Get the disconnects if you want to wheel. Upgrade the suspension if you want a smoother ride....removing the sway doesn't make as much of a difference as that.

(I figured I'd add my $.002 worth...since others have.
