Love how he didn't need the triple square for outward facing link as that's the one I'm struggling with cause I can't fit my ratched due to the caliper... Great 😑
FYI, the suspension is meant to be loaded for both the front and rear swaybar end link replacement. It makes life a lot easier when it comes to lining up the new ones as they go in and out with zero issues and no need to use a punch either
Sadly this does not work as videos would suggest. For those who work on cars in real world situations without access to a lift. Your best bet is going to be one of two strategies, an impact wrench that has a high enough torque load (600+ works in my case), or you take a dremel and cut the nut to “relief” the tension from it making it easy to get off. I’ve worked on semi modern VWs and once the rust/seizing starts on the suspension you’re gonna bust tiny triple squares and torx. A dremel with a cut wheel is your friend in this regard.

Will this also work for a Mk6 Jetta?
+Willie G There may be some differences in the location of parts or the tools used, but it would be the same general idea.
If only that easy, my triple square parts of the bolt sheared 🤯🤯🤯
That is a 6mm triple square bit, not torx. I wish VW wouldn't use those bits, because torx would be easier to find locally.
+Brent Hall Thanks for checking us out!
That is a triple square bit. Xzn#6, like the front.
