Default NEED Help!! Swaybar removale

I'm trying to remove my swaybar, I can't get the end links to come loose. My impact won't even budge them. I have the impact with a 14 mm bolt on the botom, and I'm holing a 13mm wrench on top, not budging. What am I doing wrong??

If they have been on the car awhile they are a pain in the ***. I ended up breaking mine because they where all seized up like yours. I would pick up some new ones and put alot of never seize on them so they come apart next time.

Yeah, if your doing a bar swap just make sure someone local has them in stock so you don't have to go without a bar. Or if your taking it off for good don't worry about it (asuming it's the front).

Yeah, its the front. I'm in the process of swapping trannys and I thought I might try this too. If I don't like it, I'll put it back on. Will it help my 60'?? I cut 1.685 with 4L60 E and 2800 vig. Ill probably be going with a 3200 with the 350 turbo.

Spray a good amount of WD40 or silicone on the bolts, & wait about 5-10 min. Loosened mine right up.

It should help loosen up the front of the car abit to help get more wieght transfer. Not really sure how much you will pick up. I daily drive without one just fine, but my shocks have are fairly stiff compresion rate so that helps. With a soft shock and spring combo it might drive like a tuna boat. But like you said, it's really no big deal to pop it back on.

Thanks for the help fellas. I have soaked them down with PB blaster, so if they won't come loose, I'll just break em.
