Separating the Sway Bar Link from the Strut
 

I'm stuck trying to replace the front sway bar links.

I've soaked it with PB-Blaster
I've applied heat (map-gas) until everything was starting to smoke.
I've given it whacks with a hammer.
I've tried spinning it with a crescent wrench, but the surfaces are starting to round.
I've tried prying it out with a "pickle-fork". No-go!
I recently got the Swabish-Tool ball joint separator (which works awesome for all of the ball-joint bolts!), but it won't fit in this location. I've got a smaller generic separator, but that's not working either.

The frustrating thing is that I did the rear sway bar links about 18 months ago, and I don't remember it being an issue.

Anybody got some other tricks that work?

I've been posting updates to this issue on the Boxster Cayman forum. There has been some interesting updates and I'd like people's inputs, especially those with a good technical understanding of corrosion.

Are both wheels in the air?
If not, you may have 1 side of the sway bar loaded and putting pressure on the link

Thanks Looneybin. No, that's not the problem. It's a bit more subtle than that. I'm detailing my findings over on the Boxster/Cayman forum.
