    I can get hold off the Allen head as there is a bolt that has to come off. And the rounded Allen head is supposed to supposed to stay held while the bolt is loosened off.but as the Allen head has rounded ..both are just spinning....

    Seems the only way but then will need to buy 2 new drop links as I think the other side will be the same...

    I would give it a go with maul grips first if they can grip around.If not and you are confident enough to use a grinder then as said before that’s also an option👍
