Anti roll bar
The bolts on my sierras anti roll bar are stuck fast - i've tried soaking the bolts in good old WD40 but to know avail. Is there any way i can
get it off or do i resort to the trusty angle grinder?

you mean the 15mm ones into the chassis or the ones holding it to the lower arms?  Longer bar, or impact wrench

try getting some plus gas. Its a lot more effective than WD40.

Blowtorch, or hot wrench as it's often called. Heat them up till they're nice and hot the put the breakers bar on them, never fails.

You shouldn't need to undo them --- to get the struts off.

no luck with the blowtourch or a longer handled ratchet, hacksawed off the bolts - took a while but its sorted and can get on.
