Yes. I broke 3 out of 4 of the sway bar bolts. Going back and forth with penetrating oil may have helped. Heat would have been a good thing too. As it was after I broke one off I figured I had nothing else to loose and kept going.
Once the bolts were broken I cut the protruding bit off with a Sawzall and drilled through the bolt with progressively larger drills. The bit of bolt that was stuck threaded out into the space under the swaybar mount. I chased the holes with a tap and used regular bolts.
