So for the life of me I cannot get the axle Torx bolt out! I PB sprayed the nut side of it everyday for a week and will not budge and now it is stripping a little. Any tricks or do I just cut the bolt?

On the bright side I was able to do the ZJ swap and new sway bar and links with ease. Pics Below

I had to weld a nut onto the front of mine. Rear one too actually.

If you can't do that cutting it will be your best bet, cutting wheel is probably the way I'd do it. The rubber bushing extends a bit past the track bar on each side so it won't be to bad to cut.

Hold your breath as the rubber smolders away.
