So I have been beating my trackbar for 4 hours now and taking a break to post this on here. It is stuck on the frame mount I can not get the pop out. I have bent a ball joint seperator to hell and just bought a tie rod seperator and it starting to bend now. Any ideas on one to do to get it out. While I wait for a response I am going to go try a c- clamp if you want pictures let me know and ill take some.

pics would help never heard of one that tight

Well sounds like it is in more of a bind than stuck - Best try and Move the axle to the left and the body to the right to free up the bar. Or try to separate the bar from the Axle first then remove. Pics would be nice too

I had a similar problem when I was removing my track bar.
I was letting the bar hang while I tried to beat it out. That had no effect.
Once I lifted up on the axle end of the bar, it came loose on its own.

Try supporting the axle end to take the pressure off the frame end.

Might help.

I have the c-clamp on right now trying to press it out but here is a picture. I have taken axle end off but I cannot lift it up high enough to take stress off frame end.

maybe try turning the wheels to the left or right to get the axle side mount out ??is your jeep on jack stands or is it sitting on the ground ??or jack up the axle if you cant get the bar out of the mount it might raise the track bar enough that way

if you don't want to cut it off, at least heat it cherry red let it cool and then knock it out. the metal will expand when heated, and after it cools, shrink. you could also spray with PB Blaster when its hot.

I am replacing it I have tried cutting it but I keep breaking blades. It is jacked up on axle and I have axle bolt out its just the frame one I cannot get out. I tried heating it some but didnt get it red hot. I am gonna go get some PB blaster tomorrow when Oriely's opens and then heat it and spray it on to see if that works. I have beat the hell out of it so if I do not end up getting it out do you think I could bolt it back up and as a last resort drive down road to Big 10 Tires and have them replace it. It is only about 2 miles away down one road no turning.

you should be okay to bolt it back up.
its not like its going to come off

Hahaha yeah I was just wondering if it would mess anything up since I beat the hell out of it.
