[T3] Ball joint removal



Anyone has any good ideas on how to remove the 30 mm nut that holds the
ball joint to the torsion arm? I both work on my car and on a junk beam
and I have the same problem on both. On the junk beam I have used a 150
cm bar and all my weight (80 kg) without undoing that nut. On the car I
have used as much force as I dared, without the car falling off the jack
stands.

One of the ball joints on the junk beam was broken and I simply grinded
off that nut. Then I realised that the taper on the joint was rusted to
the torsion arm. How do I remove the ball joint from the torsion arm?
