get a longer bar to get some leverage... or make sure that that isnt the bolt connected to the trailing arm... thats not supposed to move!

also you can try jacking up the control arm, to relieve the pressure on the strut asembly. Use some lubricant to loosen the bolt.

Try using a pry bar under the head of the bolt while at the same time backing it out with the impact wrench. That and a lot of PB blast.

Lots of wd40 on it, then get good leverage, it's all about leverage, seriously. If there's any one thing I've learned while working on my suspension, it's that you need leverage to get stubborn bolts.
