At this point I'd pull the bell and tranny and get them apart out of the car. I have a C shaped wrench that I use that came in some cheap a$$ tool kit I bought, but yours seems way to tight for that to work.

Just an FYI- an impact will loose alot of its force going thru swivels and extensions. My 1/2 drive IR won't take my drive shaft off because I had to use a bunch of them to get around the larger diameter of the aluminum driveshaft. I ended up pulling the U joint apart so I didn't need anything but the socket and a quick tap of the trigger and they bolts were on the floor.

After a trip to the parts store I managed to find these lovely items that seemed to come straight down from heaven.



This was the whole line up I used to get at it


I hope this helps.

EDIT: And yeah that is the end of a car jack and a busted torque wrench I used for leverage.

3/4" is about the same as a 19mm, not 15. i would say thats out. try a 9/16" thats pretty close to a 15mm.

9/16" is closer to a 14mm then a 15mm

By the way, that is a 15mm 6 point socket, an old busted torque wrench, universal 3/4 impact swivel joint, and a jack handle
