I've always just used an impact gun to get the nut off.

Douse it with PB blaster or WD before as well.

I have used vise grips and a rag on the shaft as high up as possible, still risk of damaging the shaft, but it works in a pinch.

Last time i did mk4 suspension i was able to just use an ordinary box wrench and a set of needlenose pliers/vice grips to get that nut off.

i\m pretty sure that's how my friend did it last time when he helped with the suspension. His tools and and hes in Edmonton. i just came back from my pals house and he used his impact gun. not even five mins.

I just used a 15 degree wrench and an adjustable one to get it off.
