Can’t tighten anti-roll bar links

Can’t tighten anti-roll bar links
Any ideas how to tighten the lower links? They are free-spinning
the uppers have a built in hex on the bolt side to hold it place while you tighten nit on top, but the lowers do not (circled in red).
Dont want to channel lock or pry inside, scarred of ripping boot. Can I apply pressure from outside against the link housing? Or will that too damage inner components?
help Por favor.

BTW, I took my Watts linkage off after I got the same bush kit as you and, I was amazed at what good condition the originals were in at 118,000mi. And they seem very much more heavy duty than the ones in the kit, so I reinstalled them for now. I'll hold on to the kit for when I need them, but depending on how yours hold-up, not sure if I want to use em or not.. keep me posted on any issues you have if you can, and thanks for being the guinea pig!
