Front endlinks won't come off!!

So I get one endlink unscrewed and the other one breaks then I try it get the bolts out but either of them will budge. I think the metal spacer rusted to the bolt Does anyone know how to get the endlinks off when this happens?

Thanks

Is the car resting on the wheels? If not the swaybar is loaded and so are the bolts. Just smack 'em with a hammer. Or you can undo the bushings which would unload the bar.

And paint the new bar orange.

It worth your time and effort to just replace them with new ES poly links or 1LE spec ones from Lon at TDS. You'll drive yourself nuts trying to save those old rusty nuts and bolts...just hit 'em with a hacksaw or Sawzall and install new ones.

I got them off with a hammer, hacksaw, and cut off wheel. I am going to put on energy suspension poly endlinks and poly bushings from guldstrand. Thanks for the help.
CheezX- I think you should put a dark gray mettalic racing stripe on your car.
