    Yeah, for the stock front's, you'll need to shove an allen wrench in the end, and then loosen the nut. You'll need an open ended wrench/socket for this.

    On the Kartboy fronts, make sure you insert a washer on both sides, outside of the rubber grommet, right inside of your nut. Hope that's clear, I can't think of a better way to explain it!

    If they are like the STi you can get a vice grip on it on one side of the bar and then loosen the nut.

    My WRX ones where individual on each side. IE; each bolt on the side of the endlink, along with being "adjustable," can rotate. Thus, you'll need the allen wrench, because there's not much to vice-grip onto. I wedged my allen wrench in between the control arm, and then used an open faced wrench.
