I was looking into doing a swaybar quick disconect and my end links don't have any nuts on the top. Only on the bottom.

It's like that on both sides.

Shouldn't they just fall off if they arn't held on by anything?

I know that every thread I looked at they had lock washers on them and the aftermarket ones I'm looking at have them. It's just strange that they are connected still. I tried pulling on them but they didn't move.

Well it looks like the top washer is octagonal and there is no space between the washer and the bolt. It almost looks like the washer is the top bolt.

I just want to know how to get it off so I can replace it. I suppose a hacksaw and a hammer would work.
