Drop link question.....

[Kinkell]

Anybody know how to stop bolt turning on drop link? Can't get the old one off as there is no flats for a thin open ended spanner to grip the bolt. New part has the flats. Not a lot of room for mole grips and won't be getting the grinder out for this job. Any help appreciated.

I don't know what brand mine are (they're not labelled), but:

Sprung, self adjusting spanner with teeth inside. They're fantastic for undoing rounded bolts and the harder you pull the harder they grip.

Thanks, the round bit to grip is 20mm at least. Need the car tonight so won't be hacking away at it.
