Do you know what kind of discos you have?

the suspension is a rusty's so im guessing the disconnects would be the same, but im not sure. there is a pin at the top and the bottom.

the pins come out easily, but then i still have to deal with the sleeve that connects the top and the bottom. im not sure how to get that out.

It sounds like these are similar to the RE discos that I have. You should be able to just lift the sway bar up and remove the links. I did have mine rust together after last winter's salty roads, and I had to use the BFH to get them apart. Don't know if that's a problem where you're at, though. I have a piece of wire attached to the underside of the fender to hold the bar up when it's discoed, or bungees work too.

these are what i have, but i dont know how to use them still. even if i take out the pins the center sleeve is still between the top and bottom parts.

Like John said, I think you may need to give them a little tough-love with a hammer... hit upwards...the swaybar 'should' swing up.
Ya might try soaking with PB Blaster or liquid wrench overnight, and also clamp a pair of vise Grips onto the sleeve...do the twist & hit.
Once they are free, maybe add a dab of anti seize or grease to the stubs, so next time may be easier.

thanks that got the sleeve off. but when i took them off both sides, the swaybar just dropped and it seems that it would be in the way of the flex. is there a way to keep the swaybar up so it does not get in the way or is it supposed to do that?

Like John/lesslimited 92 said (again, in his reply to ya)
"I have a piece of wire attached to the underside of the fender to hold the bar up when it's discoed, or bungees work too."
