Hi
I am replacing the front strut on my Xantia, however on looseniong the anti roll bar droplink I have loosened the nut to near the end of the thread, where it becomes very tight, the allen key slot sems to have rounded off.
any one have any sugestions how I can remove this nut without causing further damage.

Hi,
I have just replaced lower control arm bushes on my Xantia. In the Haynes manual they said I had to losen the anti roll bar droplink. I got the same problem as you. Since my anti roll bar was quite new I used a nut splitter. It worked fine and did no harm to the threads. For those of you planning to replace lower control arm bushes, don't remove the anti roll bar. It can be done without removing the anti roll bar.
