How to remove sway bar on late W211?
I am trying to remove the sway bar to do my lower control arms and I cannot see how it comes off because the top 6mm allen bolt points upwards towards the frame that holds the semicircular mount. I can't fit any allen key into the bolt!

Is there a special trick to this or something?

I don't think it is an allen. It is a star. Torx type of bolt.

On the rear side there are torx bolts..do these hold the entire bracket on and I have to remove this?
The 6mm Allen bolts hold the front half of the mount it seems.

Thanks

Heat that bad boy up, those bolts have locktite on them i think. Could be mistaken but heat and lube always work.
