well, before I even get to try out my new tokico blues, I started on the sway bar bolt. got the nut 3/4 of the way off, and it's not budging anymore. you know it's stuck when the wrench slips, then the vice grips slip when you try to move it in either direction.
I have the control arm jacked up, there's no weight on the bolt... she just won't budge. I've tried wire-brushing off any gunk in the end of the bolt, it looks clean, I've tried the rust-eater spray stuff (WD40 on steroids)...

Try soaking it with PB Blaster, then use vice grips, then replace it.
