    air gun on bolt end and I think from memory either 17mm or 19mm long spanner to hold FIRMLY, you want to hold the spanner so that the air gun can do it's job or else it just spins there, note you will want to have 100% placement with the spanner on the nut or else slippage may occur. or breaker bar one end and spanner on other same difference.
    Oh this will require a lot of force to loosen and will require equally the amount to tighten.

    You need a ball joint separator below (only $20 from super cheap). Some people know how to bash it with a solid steel hammer on the side of the joint. I tried it and no luck more like i felt i was going put a hair line crack on the front LCA lol

    oh thought it was the circled part with a question mark next to it, but yea sir_vtec has it right, instead of the steel mallet you may want to try a brass or a rubber mallet (brass preferred) and go crazy at it, good luck.

    on the topic of brass mallets, where can i find one?
    don't really need it now but it'd be nice to have kicking around
    i've scoped out bunnings and the likes but no dice from them

    Have you looked at Bursons? Good chance they'd have one.

    yea that's why I prefer the brass over the rubber, you could always use a couple of rags to soften the blow using a sturdy steel hammer just other options
