Help! Install issues.

I'm having a nightmare of an install. NEVER buy a car from Florida. There is soo much corrosion.

Anyways, 2 things right now:

1. One sway bar bolt snapped and I have to get it out. Any suggestions? None is sticking out.

2. The sway bar end links were so corroded that I stripped the center bolt that you hold with a Allen wrench. So now I am going to have to cut them off with an angle grinder. Who makes good replacements?

Thanks

Depending on access to tools you don't have many options on the broken bolt. If you have a welder or a buddy with one. Find a nut with an ID slightly smaller then the OD of your broken bolt stud. Place ur nut on your broken stud and Weld a full pool into the center of it. Wait to cool and wrench off. If you don't have this option you can try drilling a hole a bit smaller then your bolt and using an extractor. I've found this method is not super effective on super rusty bolts so use lots of penatrating fluid. Your last resort would be to drill the bolt out completely and re tap it.

As far as end links wab fab is the way to go.
 
I guess I'm going to try and get those reverse bits to try and get it out. I've also used a Dremel one time to cut a flat head area out to use a standard screwdriver.

Are deeza end links ok?
