the 17mm holding the fork to the lower arm? use an impact gun. but obviously you dont have one so take it to a shop and have them break it loose for you.

you dont need no impact gun or air tool, dude, I am 160lb, 5'10" and i took mine off by myself at my garage.

if you need more levelage, slip in a cheater bar and yank it right off.

Spray a solvent on it, let it sit and then try it. Liquid wrench is a good one.

pb blaster is better

I'm not sure exactly which bolt you mean, but if an impact wont get it, you basicaly need to slip a length of pipe over you breaker bar and try it that way.
