You have been asked this a few times
Are you talking about #17 or #20 in the diagram above?
Being clear on this just might help....
And
this isnt helping:

Sorry Guys, I meant #17, Just was up to early in the AM
Are you talking about the large nut on the bottom (#20 in the diagram jmill attached)?
If that is the one, I would definately buy the socket meant for the job, makes it easier and less frustrating.
The LARGE NUT for removing the
Balljoint from the A-arm is NOT #20 it is #17.
To remove the A-Arm from the car, you only need to remove BOLT #20 then the balljoint will pull out from the strut.
Once the nut (#22) is off, you need to unload the tension on the A-arm with a floor jack OR release all tension on the torsion bar and slide the bar adjuster out the back of the carrier.
Then the Bolt will come out of the strut.
Late cars had the wedge bolt so there will be no head on #20.
Early cars had a regular bolt and you will be able to see the head.
(I might have that backwards Early vs Late)
