grab a big wrench... and do it from under the hood... its tight but its easier that sockets and swivels... you can also drop the crossmember,and drop the tranny a bit (to tile the motor) and you can get a better angle at the bolt form underneath.

I was referring to the bell housing to engine bolt as I thought that is the bolt you are having trouble with.

if its the tranny to bellhousing bolt thats even easier.. just get a socket on it and a pipe on the wrench for leverage and force it off.
