Damn... Having problems removing the passenger side sway bar end link. Removed the drivers side with some problems. Seems the passenger side sleeve is literally fused onto the bolt. Can't get a hammer in there to hammer the bolt out, and was thinking of heating it up and then trying to remove it.

Any other ideas?

Any or all of what Pezi said would work.

Finally got it off. Took a lot of WD40, and some elbow grease.

Here is a shot of new and old:
