So I'm transferring my IPD rear sway bar from my NA to my T-5 since the NA is down for the count if she ever comes back at all. The nuts came off fine, but the bolts seem to have rusted to the inside of the bores. I got the upper one to budge, but the lower one is holding strong. I've had the joint soaking in PB for ~36 hours and no change. I got the other side loose so that's not an issue. I'm wary of heat since the fuel lines run right next to the sway bar.

I've pryed on the bar, banged on the bolts, jacked the car via the bar. pulled on it with straps.

Any advice?

edit: does anyone know the spec on the bolts from IPD? I assume the are stronger than stock.

I got the bar off, just took a lot of effort.

Any ideas on the bolt spec?
