Default trying to remove drop links = where is the wrench flat?

I'm in the process of a spring / ARB R&R project.
the first step is kicking my butt.
all drop links i've removed in the past have flats to allow wrench counter torquing when removing the nut.
these drop links don't seem to have any flats?????

how are the nuts removed?

Thank you

Craig
if you have a linky to a good AWD car spring R&R and or front ARB R&R, please post them up?

Thank you.

Craig

There is an internal torx head at the end of the threaded stud. You need to use that to hold eht shaft while removing the nut.

Look at the end of the stud, there should be a star key hole in it, you can use that to keep the stud from rotating.

Doh!
Porsche progress.
Thanks for the help.
It was obvious once i moved to the rear and saw the rearward facing studs.
#30T hole in the distal end of the stud.

cheers
