"I have tried to do the 5th gear/parking brake method with 1/2"  
breaker bar, the bolt
hasn't budged... the clutch actually started slipping :(

I also rented an impact wrench, that didnt work either.... there's  
penetrating oil
on the bolt (been soaking for a couple days)

Wonder if a torch would help it....

Thanks for your help!

Another method to remove the bolt for those of you on the more daring side
(like me), is to use a 1/2" drive rachet and put it on the bolt, and pull
the coil wire so the car cant start.  Then use the starter motor to turn the
engine over.  It turns in the direction of loosening the bolt.  

Obviously you cant tighten the bolt with this method, but if you are waiting
for the tool to arrive before starting or your dismantiling a motor, this is
an easy way to do it without the crank tool.
