Use an impact.  Air is much better than electric, but even that may 
work.  The shock of the impact often breaks bolts free.  Ironically 
enough, it is probably stuck because someone used an impact to put the 
bolt on.  I used an impact at a wrecking yard a couple weeks ago with a 
20 gal air tank.  I had enough air to remove a 5KCSTQ rear upper control 
arm, and one wheel when I got home!  Nice!
