yes, but no good way to get at the rear subframe mount. NO way to beat
it in the right direction. with the lfh, I am trying to twist the alum
part of the mount clockwise and CCW. I guess I could do that with the
air hammer, but it is pretty puny in comparison to the 2 lb lfh. It
does not appear to be practical to try to cut the center out with the
air chisel.
While it soaks, I've been trying to get the links loose on the other
side. That is not going well either. Links were replaced probably
15-20 yrs ago I'd guess. I see some 210 numbers. Nuts jammed on with
an air hammer set o n high. Shoulders are soft and round off easily.
outside of nuts are made rounded off... Not enough space to get a
socket on most. One seems to be 18mm. I have no 18mm wrenches. Not
DIN standard. I have a 18mm socket, but can't get in there with it. No
room. One of them I can't even get an open end wrench on. (the tie
rod) Brake backing plate is rust fused to the wheel carrier. Soaking
that, but little hope I can get it loose without ruining it.

Do you have air and an air hammer? You might try seeing if you can
vibrate things loose.
