Swaybar install... sort of
I attempted to install my new Hotchkis swaybars today, and I didn't make it too far past removing the plastic shrouding... the damn 19mm bolts on the endlinks would not budge!!! 
Curses! Not wanting to strip them, I gave up.
Anyone have any advice on this? Stupid question, I know, but still.. I am impatient and wanna put on my bars!

Breaker bar or an air impact, I found that my buddies DeWalt electric impact didn't have enough ***** to break it.
Oh and when you do the rears, be careful not to strip out the bolts on the end links, when we swapped my parts over to the new Z, we stripped both of them.

These things were glued on with something like loktite. I got stuck when I couldn't fit a breaker bar. My brother came up with an easy solution: connect two socket wrenches together by putting one of the prongs of the C-shaped side through the O-shaped side. Then it's twice as long and you can get enough leverage.
