Try putting a lenght of tube on t-bar if you havnt got a long knuckle bar. Tiz the only way, they are fecking tight sometimes.
I assume you may be trying this on your back wich is much more difficult, makes alot of differance if you can get it over a pit or on a ramp.

Mine was fine..
I put my ratchet straight into the square indentation in the nut and tapped it with a hammer came undone fine...
Try heating up the diff around the bolt with a hair dryer or something..

It's a normal tapered thread. They are wound up very tight...
I ended up making a long T bar with 1/2" drive extensions and things so that the end of the T was out from under the bumper. This was supported on blocks of wood. I then heaved on the bar and it came undone... Easier to see than to write.

you can buy a thing called a breaker bar. Used by mechanics to undo this type of stubborn screw. its just a long bar with 1/2" drive on end on a knuckle. very stiff and excellent for the job. come in 12" 18" and 24" lengths. well worth the money (about £12 from halfords) better than putting a tube over a socket wrench less chance of cracking your knuckles. you will struggle to undo diff plugs without one they are insanely tight from factory.

I jacked the car up, put a long extension bar on it, with the bar touching the ground I jacked the car down again, the weight of the car undid the bolt..
