Soak it with penetrant (WD 40 or PB Blaster) and then use a rachet or breaker bar with a short extension. I think it is a 1/2" if I remember right.

an impact wrench seams to work better then using a ratchet handle cause you can hold it more square. use an extension tho so you dont mess up the end of the impact wrench.
