Engine/trans question

I am in the midsts of a engine removal, and I took off the torque converter drain plug cover, starter, ect. on the bellhousing to expose the flywheel (C6 auto). When I went to take the flywheel to flex plate bolts/nuts off, I could not get them to budge. I have tried everything I can think of to help get them off; WD-40 penetrating oil, sockets, wrenches, breaker bars, ect. Is there something I'm missing? As far as I can tell, it is a 9/16 nut, and standard thread. I don't imagine they are reverse thread...

Any help would be appreciated
