I had to replace an eye link bushing last year and couldn't get the eye
link off.  I took it to a guy I typically trust but isn't a VW guy...one
of his mechanics broke the stud of the eye link getting it off costing
me the price of a new one.

Once off I paid him what I owed him and drove home with the bar and
broken link in a box on the floor.  I drove at 60 on an interstate for
20 minutes without a big issue.  As long as you don't go flying into
exit ramps or take any tight turns quick it shouldn't be a problem.
