I believe your talking about the endlink? if so, its becasue its a hex bolt, you gotta find the right size hex, shove it in the bolt to keep it from spininng and use a use (I forget the size) wrench and twist it while holding it in place with the hex.

go to a hardware store and tell them you stripped a screw, they can hook you up with a bit to drill into the stripped screw so you can get it out.

or you can be ghetto and get a piece of scrap and superglue the end into where you're supposed to hold the hex screwdriver lol. you can't use the endlink again anyways

Took the words right outta my mouth. Don't hate on ghetto, though. It works.

Oh man, that really sucks. You pretty much have to buy a new end link if you don't take it out carefully.
