go to the hardware store and get a bottle of liquid wrench put some of that on and let it soak for a while be careful because i jumped on a lug wrench once because the nut would not come off and broke the bolt right in half

use a really really really really long pipe.(not the one u smoke buds with ) and put it on the end of the 7 bar or t-bar for alot of leverage. put your body weight into it and do it really fast, not slowly. use alot of likwid wrench like said above.
