Don't matter to split the nut off with a cold chisel if the BJ is being replaced.
I managed to get a socket on there too and used an open ended spanner successfully too, cheetah bar on it and away it goes
yeah, but if yu can undo the nut, you can then get a jack under the nut and jack it up to assist breaking the taper .

I can get a ring spanner on it , but because of the restricted spanner space movement I can’t break the nut coz I’m at the wrong angle while lying on the floor, I can’t get any strength on the spanner, or hold it and bash it with hammer at the same time.... it’s my knackered back. 
To be able to hold the spanner on and bash it properly, My legs need to be pointing out under the n/s wheelarch , but then because it’s on a slope, my head points downhill and I get dizzy.
However, I think I can manage to hold a chisel on the left side of nut and bash it in a towards the engine direction.

Well, got exhaust rubber off ..
Bashed bolt.......till it got stuck against exhaust clamp.
Couldn’t get socket on bracket 13mm seemed to big , 12mm too small......1/2 inch?? Though I would have thought 12/13mm would have fitted.
- gave up.
Dunno what’s holding bolt in....
Other side of A frame which I thought nut was turning yesterday - wuznt
Used battery up on hammer gun, nothing moving at all. Dosed in release oil - gave up.
Looked at castle nut. - gave up.
Looked across to rubber doughnut.
Thought f**k it.
Gave up.
Cold, wet and stiff.
