trust me keep cranking hard! if you cannt turn it enough then get a pipe or something to slide over the wrench to give you more torque to take it off. just be sure your turning it counterclockwise from the bottom. so turn from the passenger side firewall to the front and over to the passenger side firewall. just be sure you are turning it the right way

Yeah and there's not really anything to break, so just go for it. Leverage is key.
