Umm, keep in mind that box end wrenches tend to be 12 point and might round the head of the bolt.

I'd use a six point socket with a 1/2" wrench. Since my wrench is Craftsman and guaranteed for life, I wack it with a 2lb (?) hammer/mallet.

Though RStarkie's suggestion is preferable. Ie. If space allows, eg. try turning wheels as previosly suggested, you should be able to use a very long tube that slips over the wrench handle to get additional torque (press down on it with your foot). A socket wrench with an extended handle doesn't require much arc movement to crack a bolt loose.
