Bush Link Pin Nut

Hi All,
I did a lot of searching on Saturday about this nut on the Bush link pin but I didn't read any posts about the nut, so I hope I am not repeating this question.
I wanted to replace my control arms on Saturday but first I checked to see if I could losen the nut on the Bush Link Pin before I took the arm off. I used a 24" ratchet but it did not losen. Should buy new bush link pins or does anyone have any Ideas for getting the nut off?
Thanks in advance.

those are torqued pretty high IIRC so you will need at least a johnson bar or an air tool. IF The pins don;t look worn or bent they are probably fine, it's a rubber bushing there so there should be no damage.

Impact is recommended, especially if your in the salt belt.
