04 Coupe Rear upper control arm ball joint nut not moving - using 800 lb-ft air gun
I'm trying to replace my rear upper control arm on an 04 coupe. The ball joint nut on both sides isn't moving even with a good sized air gun pounding on it. The cotter pin is out. There is no rust or corrosion that I can see.
This nut has never been removed, so it's been in place for 18 years. The original torque on this is only 62 lb-ft. All the other bolts in the suspension have moved without a problem.
Any ideas how to get this nut to move?
