Huh. And yes, I am turning it in the right direction. I'll admit that spatial orientation is a bit difficult for me. I've done this job multiple times and never had a problem.

I had thought multiple times that I was turning it in the wrong direction and changed directions. I've got the car up on ramps and I'm able to get under it from the driver's side and I have a clear view of the bolt. From that side I am pushing on the wrench towards the right which should turn the bolt left...

I picked up a metal sawzall blade at Walmart and am going to tackle this when the sun comes up.
