<E30> Control arm to cross member nut...

I just replaced most of the front suspension in my 88 325iC. The
passenger side control arm to cross member nut is giving me a problem. It
has a tendency to loosen, and yes it's a self locking nut (new, did not
reuse the old fasteners). I'm going to put some locktite on it, but would
like to make sure that it is tightened down good first. Does anyone have a
method for getting to this nut? Between the motor mount, exhuast , cross
member, and control arm this nut seems damn near impossible to work with.
Its slightly ironic seeing as how the original one was a royal PITA to
get off, ended up having to drop the cross member and going for the throat
with an industrial strength cutting disc.
Thanks,
Keith
