Can you get a breaker bar in there with a good fitting socket on the bolt?
Did you spray some PB Blaster on the bolt and lightly tap it (if you can)?
PB Blaster is great stuff! I don't think you will be able to break it loose with a wrench. I don't know why the impact gun didn't do the trick unless it doesn't have enough startup torque to loosen the bolt. My air rachets will break loose some bolts and not others, but I only have a 2HP compressor behind it.

Some PB blaster and a breaker bar should do the trick. PB Blaster is better than Liquid Wrench IMHO. You might also try slowly tapping the wrench handle with a hammer to torque the bolt loose. Sometimes a little patience and persistance works better than brute force.


Good Luck!
