Default Front Engine Mount Crossbolt Stuck

Changing the front engine mount and the nut on the crossbolt is stuck. I used PB Blaster and broke my 3/8 breaker bar on it. My impact won't turn it, then again, my impact is a POS Campbell Hausfield... it even has trouble even taking off lug nuts.

What worries me is that bolt doesn't even turn. It's just a crossbolt, I don't think it's indexed or has a key or anything. If I don't use a backing wrench on the head of the bolt, and I put torque on the nut, the entire bolt/nut assembly should turn. It doesn't look corroded or anything.

Any ideas?

I think that nut is not supposed to turn. I think it's part of the bracket. You should only be turning the bolt on the other side.
