and for reference...i don't like pickle forks...but I understand why people use them...
i'd hang something heavy off that end of the trackbar, heat up the stud/cone where it attaches to the bracket, and hit the BRACKET to break the cone. Don't hit the trackbar or the stud, it'll just mess up the joint. I've always had great luck with this method over a pickle fork

I try NOT to use heat on parts I have to re-use. Compromises their strength.
But we all have our way of doing things. I think the TR Separator does the job it was built to do.
You have many suggestions though, hopefully it comes loose for ya.

That is hers and she loves it and it aint going anywhere and can fit all the crap in the back, its safe, etc... We also have a MOAB roof top basket as needed (which would look effing awesome on this Jeep).
I have a 96 Infiniti G20, automatic so her mother can drive it, not too big, good on gas, safe, etc...
If this was 5 years ago or 5 years in the future I'd be up at Adams Jeep with this Jeep this weekend showing off.
Instead, like everyone on here knows, Older Jeeps are going to nickel and dime you some, the radio doesnt work, AC needs a recharge, headliner is sagging like some urban gangsta pants, etc... I also have a Tacoma company truck so I would be pitching a sale to keep a 4th vehicle. Very tough sell.
