Default Au IRS Rear Hub Problem

Guys

This goes on from my previous thread on worn top shock mounts (IRS)!!!

I bought a suitable deep socket to remove rear pack nut today.
I cracked & removed the pack nut off afterwork.
Unbolted upper & lower control arms.
The hub & knuckle were ready to come out BUT the toe link after it was unbolted is STUCK!!!!!!!!!
I can't remove it from the knuckle even when using a tie rod seperator lever, mash hammer & trolley jack!!!!
I tried unbolting the toe link at the inner mounting bolt (centre of car) BUT the bolt won't come out cos it hits the fuel tank..... what a crap design!!!!

So I'm STUCK....

Has anyone experienced this & any ideas on how to get the toe link joint off the knuckle????? :

soak it in wd40 or rost off ice or something similar and leave it for 10-15mins then smash it with a hammer worked for me but u will get to a point where u think nah that aint coming off then itll just pop off in a good hit.
cheers josh.
