nothing from nowhere
a pipe wrench can do wonders
 


use some PB BLASTER... the best stuff on the world for helping to remove rusted stuff.

a pipe wrench or a crows foot.
Another thing I would recommend is keep the outer tie end on to the knuckle while u try and remove the jam nut.. this will give u a bit more leverage then trying to loosen it with the rod free playing.
