Sound like you need a thicker/stronger, and possibly longer steel bar. Again, step 1 is to get enough power on it. After that depends on exactly what happens *when* (not if) you get it to turn. I guarantee 100% that if you get enough power on it, something will happen.

Hopefully you're using a six-sided impact-grade socket.

You are turning it counterclockwise, right? Sorry...I had to ask.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
