are you using a breaker bar? or how about a impact gun? drench it with wd-40 then try working on it. worse case scenerio you can always take it to a shop.

a breaker bar is basically a long *** socket wrench. the one i have is like 2 feet long. you can pick one up at any local parts store.

remember, your best bet is to let it sit in wd-40 over night then hit it up in the morning.

PB Blaster works a lot better then WD40. WD40 makes for a nice cleaner if you want to take a little grime off things, but if you want something that is going to help get things apart then the PB blaster is the way to go
