Front sway bar removal
Any tips on removing sway bar bolts that won’t budge with power tools & hand tools? Makes me want to cut the steering arm off.
Sway bar in way of oil pan bolt, leading to difficult oil changes.

Are you doing your oil change on ramps or jackstands ? I remember that the swaybar in a certain position during travel puts it close to the pan

Did you try hitting it with your purse?
Those bolts seem to tighten themselves as they're going into aluminum but a good size breaker bar should do the trick.
You can always sell the car.

Have you tried penetrating oil soak? If they've never been undone, that's the only way, short of torch heating.
