You cannot remove the stud. PBBlaster won't work because it is a flange nut, but you can try spraying a little around the edges. I assume that the engine has been 'lifted' a centimeter to take the stress off the mount.

While torque gets most bolts off, you really need an impact to start the bolt moving. Use a good box end wrench and a 16 ounce hammer to strike the handle of the wrench, several times.

An other method would have me drilling a dimple into the flange at about 9:00, then using a punch and hammer to get the bolt started.
