Big problems with rear sway bar

[downwitmp3]

I was driving the other day and i turned right onto and incline and when my rear suspension clapped down there just so happened to be a rock in the road and it smashed into my rear sway..Yea how bad is that..So i go home and look under my car and the right sway bar bracket was destroyed..The pressure from the suspension coming down onto the rock made the sway bar pop right the the bracket.. So i tried takin the whole sway bar off but the end link bolts are impossible to get off because i cant twist the nut and hold the bolt at the same time. I wanna replace both brackets for the sway bar but i cant find them anywhere. And any input on what kind of end licks i should buy and how the hell to get them off?Any help would be appreciated.and by the way it was dark out thats why i didnt see the rock in the street. lol

Get the brackets from Online Mazda Parts. They rock. To get the part number before ordering go here: http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=249 and post a thread askign for the part number, Bags is really quick to get the part number to you asap. As for the endlinks, replace them with AWR adjustables. If you have access to an air gun you can pop those bolts off with no problem, I do it just about every week now. PM me if you have any more questions and I'll get you straightened out. Werd, Scott.

Use vise grips on the back side of the end links to keep the shaft from spinning- sometimes even an impact gun won't work.

I used two box wrenches and an allen key. The allen key went in, box wrench attached to the allen key (gotta be a small box wrench) and wedged it against something fixed on the car, then used the other box wrench to twist the nut off.

OnlineMazdaParts is a good place to get parts, PM bagman1, he'll get you the part number and quote very quickly, then you go online and order the part. If you want to solve clunk while you're at it, get the clunk fix brackets from AXR and forget about the stockers.

End links, you can get the AWR end links, wait for Evolv to finish his, or there is another option, but I don't remember who sells it.
