Good luck on removal. A lot of the time they are seized and require cutting. But like I said, good luck. Haha

Sorry for the confusion

I started on the sway bar links yesterday.

I don't have all the stuff to do the leafs yet because the parts were back ordered.

Those torx bolts are a trap.... They're pressed in with knurls, like a wheel stud.... Torx head is just for looks

The "torx" bolts that's on the axle mounts are actually pressed-in studs. Not actual bolts.

What I would do is to grind the torx head off then stack washers on the threaded portion and put the nut back on, and start tightening it down. It ll pop out

That takes to long....bfh, or my favorite, use a pitman arm puller to press it out
