Note the potential DP on 89 in boxes 23. The DP is killed by either 7 or the 4 in r3c5.

R1c5=7 or r1c8=7-->r1c4=2-->r2c6=8.
R3c5=4-->r3c9=8-->r8c9 not 8-->r9c8=8. Pincers r2c6 and r9c8-->r9c6<>8.

Note the word "not" in the above line. The site would not let me use the <> to indicate not 8.

Code:

+--------------+--------------+---------------+
| 4   18   168 | 27   789 258 | 267  789 3    |
| 5   9    68  | 247  3   28  | 2467 1   4678 |
| 2   3    7   | 6    489 1   | 5    89  48   |

| 9   17   2   | 5    6   4   | 8    3   17   |
| 178 6    18  | 9    2   3   | 47   5   147  |
| 3   5    4   | 8    1   7   | 9    6   2    |
+--------------+--------------+---------------+
| 78  478  9   | 3    478 6   | 1    2   5    |
| 178 2    3   | 17   5   9   | 67   4   678  |

Marty, try checking the "disable HTML this post" box

I used:

After the Basics, same as Marty's Grid above, we can eliminate 7 in r8c4 using the candidates left in r1c4 as follows:-
If r1c4=7 => r8c4<>7
If r1c4=2 then, r1c7<2>r2c6=8 =>r2c3=6 =>r1c3<6>r8c7=7; r8c4<>7.
