Lower control arm pivot nut - how do you stop the pivot shaft from spinning?

He has it apart.

You don't really want to heat. Front end parts unless it's the last resort. Wore brush the threads and soak with penetrant is better

I mean, he did say heat with a heat gun, it's not like he said to put a torch to it until it glows red. Heck he even said heat the NUT, not the pivot. Nothing wrong with what @340sFastback said.

And I totally understand the need to be careful when heating parts that have been heat treated, but again, you can heat any of that stuff to a couple hundred degrees without hurting anything, and that's more than enough to help loosen things up.
