I had to place the socket on the bolt from underneeth and then plug the extenion onto the socket. I used a breaker bar to crack the bolt. Good luck.
Thanks for the note, but it is actually the passenger side. After sleeping on it, I have the feeling that the compressed mount is allowing the motor to put a lot of lateral pressure on the bolt. I am going to try jacking the motor up to relieve the bolt and see how that works.
