My bro used a breaker bar. Then put the end of the bar on jack and pumped the jack till the bolt came loose. Of course, the engine was out of the car so it was a tad easier to do this way, as opposed to it still being in the car.

well i would say if i have to do it again i will either buy or rent an impact capable of 300+ ft/lbs.
i heard that mexican zone has a tool that makes it pretty easy though.
