    If you have access to one, use a torch on the area around the bolt.

    I've never used PB Blaster but WD-40 is like "jesus blood" for me.

    heat the bolt up to cherry red. then crank away. Watch that you don't heat just the head because you may end up shearing it off.

    WD-40 or Liquid Wrench

    long pipe to fit over wrench, ratchet

    torch

    pick one.
