Bang the **** outa it until it gets loose.. hammar and a rachet should do it. or if its realllly rusted on there just get sum liquid wrench (and penetrating oil) and spray sum on there and it should break up all the rust buildup and should loosen. i had the same prob. recently and i was tugging on it so hard i thought the car was going to fall off the jack on top of me.but i just got sum pen. oil and she still required a lil work and eventually worked itself loose

Sometimes heating it with a propane torch will help break it loose too , just be careful if you have it soaked in penatrating oil ...
