Any thoughts on how to seperate sway bar from the links if they're seized????   93 YJ

A BFH. Well, tap the links from alternating directions to get the tapered pin to come out. Maybe hitting it a little harder than just tapping. :D

I'm sure there is some sort of puller that would work, but a hammer works with a little bit of elbow grease.

Also try applying Penetrating fliud to it for a bit. I had a siezed shock bolt that i hammered with a mallet (rubber/plastic ends) using the plastic side and lots on PB Blaster and 3in1 Penitrating fluid, took a while but it came out and didn't damage the bolt threads. I applied lots of anti-sieze to the bolt and threads prior to reassembly.

After dismantling my jeep completely and breaking numerous bolts, I am going to try to remember to put antisieze on every bolt.
