well, if you have access to an impact gun....there's your answer.
If not, on the back side of the sway bar there is a metal tab on the sway bar endlink for a 17mm wrench (I think that's the size). You can hold that there to keep it from spinning, then remove the bolt.

ummm, try this......use a long screwdriver and try and pry between the strut and the swaybar endlink putting pressure on the nut, then hit it with the impact gun
