The stock endlinks are brutal.
2013 fr-s and still using the stock ones. They were rusted to shit! I was thinking the work on my suspension would take about 4 hours but it took me almost 3 hours alone to get off the drivers side endlink. My forearms are sore as hell.
My strategy was to use a wire brush on the threads, followed by wd40, followed by doing a tightening/loosening dance while slowly loosening more and more each time. The rust was preventing me from loosening more than like an eighth of a turn at once. I found I could loosen as much as possible, then tighten a bit, then go back and forth a few times until it became easier. This would allow me to loosen just a liiiiiitle bit more. Rinse and repeat about a thousand times...
