Chris - The secret is to take the sway bar out with the weight of the car on the front suspension. With the front wheels hanging in the air, the angle between the bar and the lower control arms is quite acute. This puts the bar in a real bind in the bushings that are inserted into the lower control arms where the sway bar connects. If you need to do this removal with the car in the air, you need to put a strap around the two ends of the bar near the lower control arms, and draw the ends of the bar closer together as you pull it forward out of those bushings. The issue is that when the lower controls arms are at the lowest position, the attachment points for the sway bar are closer together than they are with the car at normal stance.

I finally got my frame completely stripped today and am finally ready to start cleaning it up.. My question is how to you get the front swaybar out of it's bushings on the lower control arm? I fought with it for a good three hours before giving up and just dropping the front suspension with it still tied together..
