Take the plates off and lay them flat against your table/work bench. Then take a pair of pliers and grab the threaded end of the stud. Press the stud in upside down and it should pop in. This spreads the load out on the link so it doesn't break. I do this with my shocks all the time and I haven't broken any yet.

Did your DP come with 4 hex bolts? If not you will need 4 - 2.5mm hex head bolts....They fasten the upper arms in place of the ball studs  Not my pic but it gives you a idea of how they go.  Last edited by chevy55; 11-26-2012 at 07:31 PM. Reason: Added pic |
