Get some good penetrating oil from the auto parts store, (WD-40 won't do it) spray it up real good every 2-hrs and let it soak overnight.

The issue isn't so much with breaking the bolt, as it is with the location. no room for sockets, or open ended wrench. you can tell they put it together while the body was off the frame....just wondered if i need to torch it off
