I had the exact same problem that you are having. It's pretty tight back there. I don't have power tools and there was no way I could leverage it enough to do it with hand tools.

I ended up using an angle grinder attachment on my rotozip and cutting thru the bottom "bolt" as close as I could to the sway bar on each side. Then, it was just a matter of punching out the little piece that was sitting in the hole in the sway bar.

It took a while and I used a couple of cutting wheels to do it.

Good luck ....... MarkO

-edit- If you go with cutting the bolt, make sure you cover up the open area of the wheel well. Cutting generated a lot of sparks and I didn't want a stray spark getting into the engine compartment and maybe starting a fire. Just being ultra cautious.
