Sway bar link and Tie rod Options

[Skate4mindgame]

Yes i seen it discussed in a few topics up buuut.

First question, I went to disconnect the sway bar link from the control arm the and where you put in the Hex wrench is stripped to ****. Any suggestions? Cut the bolt and get a new link? Just disconnect the sway bar from the link all together?

Question two, the cotter pin broke off inside bolt when i was disconnecting the tie rod end =X. It broke off enough to where i got the nut off anyways. Just drill it out maybe?

Well to answer my own question #1 looks like im cutting the sway bar links off, all 4 of the holes are stripped and my hex wrench just kinda rolls around in there and does nothing =/

gahh,
I know i'll be in your shoes when i go to do this. Maybe if i start coating penetrating grease and wd40 now i'll help myself a bit but who knows. I don't have that hex wrench im sure of it and i should probably order those bolts from napa now just incase. That is if i can get them through napa.
