I have tried a breaker bar, and I'm not sure i'd be able to get under there with a cheater of any length that would help.
Lift up the truck a little bit will give you more room to work with. When my breaker bar isn't enough, I slide my 2.5 ft jack handle over it. Breaker bar and penetrating oil should do the job. Just don't strip the bolt!

thanks, if nothing else I'm ready to try again
what do you mean by slide your jack handle over it??
so no one thinks an electric impact wrench would do the trick?
How long does the tank last when used to power tools? Also, how much is a refill?
I have a 20 lbs tank and it lasts quite a while. The refill is $13.00. Keep in mind that the concept of a trail repair is not a "shop tank" where you're running air tools for everything in the garage. I also have a 10 lbs tank (which I'm phasing out) that I used to keep on top of the FJ. Air tools on high torque items were my reason for going to CO2 over a compressor in the FJ -- that and when I fill air-d down tires, they fill FAST with CO2.

Electric impact will work. The jack handle is like a thick walled pipe. I slide it over the breaker bar (breaker bar is now inside the pipe) so now I have essentially a longer breaker bar.

I've been toying with placing it on my poor man's to-buy list. I think you just sold me. Thanks!

yeah thanks, right after I asked, I thought about it, and realized I already have a cheater -the long jack handle
I think what you really need is a torque multiplier, I don't know if that is the name, but it is a ratchet type wrench with a little grearbox on it that multiplies the effort. We use all the time in heavy equipment.

Torque Multipliers. Torque multipliers are multi-geared tools generally used with ratchets or ratcheting torque wrenches as the drive component. Input is multiplied through the gearing four or more times depending on the model used. A reaction bar, which locks into the head of the torque multiplier, must rest securely against an object sturdy enough to withstand the force that will be generated. When driving a torque multiplier with a torque wrench, a torque loss factor at the fastener, caused by frictional losses through the gear train, must be taken into consideration in determining the desired torque at the output side of the torque multiplier. Torque loss factors are available from most torque tool manufacturers. Torque wrenches are available which can be used between the output side of the torque multiplier and the fastener. When used in this manner, the actual torque on the fastener may be read without the need to compensate for frictional loss.
