Installing Sway bar -- End link bolt spins with nut

[jond]

I went to install my new Type-R front sway bar, and the first bolt I turned, the one connecting the sway bar to the stabilizer link, just spun. The nut AND bolt spun together. AHHHHHH! Is there any way to fix this short of dropping it off at Acura?
I thought there would be a place on the bolt to put a wrench on to keep it from spinning, but nada(unless it's under the rubber boot).

Try and use an allen wrench (6mm if I remember correctly) in the hole at the top of the drop link bolt to hold it in place.

yea you have to use an allen key (6mm) to keep the nut from spinning.

Thanks to both of you

I should have taken my laptop with me. I could have this thing done.
So the hole for the allen wrench is on the outside facing the tire? Is that right?

Got it on yesterday!
A little PB Blaster and a 6mm allen wrench and it came off soooooo easy.
I had no idea those holes for an allen wrench were even there.

Thanks again!
