Any tips for removing ball joint nuts on control arms?

---

Hey there - I'm installing M3 control arms on my 335i and I can't seem to get the stupid nut off the lower control arm ball joint. In one of pelican parts's tutorials, they suggested jacking up the whole hub assembly from the ball joint and then removing it.. It didn't work, so I got a torx bit screwdriver with a vice grip and put it in the bolt, and got a 21mm wrench to remove the nut. Broke the screwdriver and it didn't budge.. odd thing is, it's most of the way loose. I may just cut it but I'm going to try buying a torx socket in the morning. Anyone found any tips to make my life easier? Thanks in advance.
