Might help to pull up from within the engine bay than tryin to pull from under the car, not sure which way you're going.

I've found that on frozen bolts/nuts, applying constant pressure can snap a stud, where apply tension to the bolt/nut, and a sharp rap with a hammer will often break the rust bond, instead of twisting the threaded part in half.
