Front Coil Bottom Bolt Removal? Tips Tricks? 92 E150

Hi All, I'm having a hell of a time loosening the bottom coil bolt on my 1992 e 150... Basically, the nut part is at the bottom of the suspension arm and trying to remove the bolt from inside the coil is not working.

How do you do it?

Heat the bottom under the cast iron suspension arm?

Heat inside the coil (near the plastic thing)?

Heat and WD40 at the same time? (I have a new WD40 called blue torch or something like that)?

Do you turn the nut inside the coil or underneath the suspension arm ?

Do you let the suspension hang or support it? a lot a little?

My baby is taking a WD40 bath for the next hour. Any advice doing this would be greatly appreciated!

FYI: Kroll is superior to WD40 for loosening rusted bolts
