Getting the Wheeling Fever
I finally got it loose.

i did take the entire sway bar off (being lazy, i really didn't want to do) and soaked the frozen bolt end with more liquid wrench and on the second try, BAM!

Body Damage is Cool
I just replaced the sway bar bushings, clamps, and quick disconnects on my CJ7. I would suggest that you do the same thing i did -- use all new Grade 8 hardware when you put it back together, and use Anti-Seize compound on all the threads.

the nuts came off easy enough... it was the bolt in the top end link/sway bar connection that was the bear.

what kind of anti-seize did you use? i guess that's different from the white tube pre-lube tube supplied by the bushing manufacturer.
