use the arm from your jack as a breaker bar. slide the open end of it onto your wrench.

Deep Creep by Seafoam. Spray it on generously a day before you plan to do the work. I was able to break the same bolt loose with just wrench.

PB blaster and let it sit. As other have said, use the arm of your jack as a breaker bar. If that doesn't work, like it didn't for me, use an impact/air gun
