Sucks about removing the arms don't want to go there as I won't have a clue what I'm doing  not sure what to do about it..

Do you even read my posts?
You can knock it out that way
But you can take the torsion bar out of the axle if you do (as in hold it in your hand off the car)

I had to resort to using a hydraulic ram between a bolt in the torsion bar and a steel stanchion holding the workshop up!
Not exactly suitable for the diy-er tho!
You are beating it from the right side aren't you?

Read yes, fully understand the concept not 100% 
Just tried both sides again and it's not budging tbh I probably just suck :/
Was mainly hitting it from passengers to drivers side, the top one was so easy I don't understand how this one isn't

Mine was the same
Bottom was the hard one
Bearings arent hard to replace tbh, and if you 100 percent cant get it out, just move the arm

How would you go around replacing them and how much are they? Also would the arb have to be removed for your method? I'm thinking not but if it is my mechanical logic has failed

Yes it would if you wanted the arm to come off
£70 odd for both sides, and wee wee easy

because the anti-roll are only pressed onto the end plate. they are not held by any bolts.

Put the other torsion bar back, with the washers and bolts and try the seized bar again. This will help stopping the arm from coming off.

Well now I have broke my 4lbs hammer
I would do that steve but I had to chisel them out so currently waiting for some on order from pug.
Don't know what the next call is, maybe get a garage a have a go at it I know I would probably do more damage than good removing the arm I normally do.
