Here is the story... Tryin to install the sway bars that I just got.. 21mm/23mm and was in the process of unbolting the rear bar. Had all the bolts off except the driver's side long bolt. It was like REALLY stuck on.. so I used the car jack trick. Had a wrench on the bolt and used hydralic lift to push up on the wrench to unscrew the bolt. Worked for about 1-2 full turns then... BOOOOOM!!!... broke the end off the bolt and the thing shot accross the garage and nailed the wall.. left a nice dent. The thing wizzed about 2-3" away from my face. I think I may have slightly messed myself :)

Where the hell do I find these bolts? Now I need a new one :)
