Can you just vibrate it a bit from whatever direction you can get at it
just to loosen it up a bit? Then if you can spray more fluid into the
joint it may soak down where it will help.
Are you certain that it might not be a better idea to find a better car
and let this one go?

yes, but no good way to get at the rear subframe mount. NO way to

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.
