>>>Spritz the frozen half of the turnbuckle liberally with Liquid Wrench 
and let it soak overnight.   Then you need to use your most mondo 22mm 
wrenches on the turnbuckle and the nut (remembering that it's opposite direction, 
righty loosey).

In the past, I've seen people resort to three-foot lengths of pipe slid 
over the ends of the two wrenches, to afford sufficient leverage to pop the 
locknut free.   Two strong people, pulling from opposite sides of the car, then 
BLAM and it pops free.   Pad the car heavily with old blankets etc. to 
prevent any damage from occurring.
