So Im almost done the installation of my h&T bushings. One problem is that trying to remove the nut that holds the sway bar to the rear control arm is a huge pain. Breaking it loose was fine but no the closer I get to having it come off the harder it become to remove. Any tips or do I just need to keep reefing. I think i might need to get a breaker bar on this.

try having a jack support the control arm while you take the bolt out

use a dye as well to clean the threads so your not fighting the rust build up

blowtorch, heat will breakup any grime or rust, and make her come off nice and easy
