Sway Bar Link Bolt Help

[HalonT]

Hello all! Any tips on removing this 15mm offset bolt to replace a sway bar link on 2015 model s 85D? Inner hex is 5mm to hold the joint stationary.

15mm offset wrench may help but seems even too deep.

It’s a huge pain. I broke down and bought a pass-through socket set. The Kobalt Xtreme Access set at Lowes is decent and got the job done.

Thank you. Will get a pass thru set. Offset and 5mm long hex worked.

Question guys.
Ive replaced front sway bar links 60.000km ago, lesa than a year. And they seem faulty again, is this “normal”?

Car is 2015 MS 70D

seems early to fail again but would have to check warranty on part. could also be other suspension links in the front that fail

I have this one: ROD/STRUT, STABILISER FOR TESLA TRISCAN 8500 81600 | eBay

Still under warranty thou but I mainly ask because I cant figure out what else could it be :/

Turned out its not the sway bar link, but the lower control arm failure. It happened less than a year after replacement so it was replaced under warranty.

I've heard these like to fail quite often...
