This time its the one that connects my steering stabilizer to the axle, Ive already removed the tapered end. I have an upgrade stabilizer that I want to put in, and it comes with all the hardware needed to install, so if anyone's suggestions require demolition, I'm all for that. It seems that the bolt is rusted within the housing, and no amount of PB Blaster and breaker bar will get the sucker loose.

Mine used to always (before changing all the mounts) be a giant pain because the steering stab gets twisted in there. If you can get something (screw driver/punch) on the back side of the bolt and hit it with a hammer, youll get it loose. Also can try prying against the head of the bolt with a screwdriver/box end wrench while you turn it with a socket.

Finally got the sucker...soaked it in PB, dried it off and hit it with a torch for a while. I noticed that PB started bubbling out from around the bolt (which was cool), then tried the breaker bar again. Came out no problem.
Thanks for all the help guys.
