2020 Trail boss sway bar nut issue

[Jmccracken1214]

Installing leveling kit, and when I try to take the top sway bar linkage nut off, seems the entire stud from the linkage boot spins...

 

how do I get around this?

The end of the stud has a hex head to put a wrench or socket on to hold the stud.  Probably 9 or 10mm?

Beat me to it. I added a leveling kit and found this hex head buried. Easier if you have another guy helping.

An air wrench will break it free initially, but like mentioned above you will need to hold the stud stationary with a wrench or pliers(if you don't have the correct wrench size) while you back the nut off once broken free.  The same procedure for tightening will be used.  Once you tighten the nut back down enough to where it contacts its abutment surface, you can torque it down without having to hold the stud stationary.
