I am working on installing my new eibach prokit springs. Rears went on as well as an adj PHB without a problem. I started taking apart my front right strut assembly and the front anti-rollbar link bolt seems jammed. How do i remove this bolt??? THe car is stuck of the jackstands now until I get this bolt to budge.

Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

You've all ready backed it off and now it won't budge? Is the stud spinning? I'm pretty sure you need to hold that stud with a wrench while turning the nut with another wrench.

it refused to come off. called ford and bought two new anti roll bar links and nuts (according to ford they changed it to an updated part) and ended up having a shop swap them out for me.

car is now sitting on the eibach pro-kit lowering springs and I am very impressed! handles like it is on tracks vs. the ridiculous body roll at stock ride height. An absolute MUST for our cars! at the very least

The same thing happened to me while working on my wife's Subaru a couple of weeks ago.
The threads threads exposed to the weather corrode making the nut jam as you try to back out over that area.
I ended up running the nut all the way down, then using a thread die, chasing the threads to clean them up.
This was an M12 X 1.75 thread on the Subaru.

You have to hold the bolt with a wrench.
You'll probably have to muscle it off. I would recommend turning your hub and fitting a breaker bar over the wrench and giving it a go.
Maybe try some PB blaster too.
