Electrical conduit, cut to a reasonable length, can make a cheap "extender" for your socket wrench. Available in any hardware, the extra leverage can sometimes turn the trick, or the nut in this case.

I have heard also that Coca Cola works well at loosening rusty nuts and bolts. I think one covers them with aluminium foil then pours in the cola,tie it up and leave. Don't leave too long though, Cola has phosphoric acid in it - so keep an eye on it.
Good luck! (And to think people drink this stuff too!) :o

We are trying to replace our kitchen faucet, but one of the bolts to hold it in place underneath is rusted so badly WD40 won't loosen it at all. Any suggestions welcome. We are trying to do this on our own without an expensive plumber bill.
