RE: Stuck.. (clutch job..)
step one... go to home depot
step 2... go to the metal tubing isle and get about a 2 ft steel bar to put over your wratchet
step 3... go back home
step 4... take a nap (its been a long day)
step 5...wake up(strictly optional)
step 6...put the bar on the wratched or wrench i think that bolt is a 12pt 12mm so crank down on that little guy and hope u have enough room under your car on those jack stands to break em loose.
good luck
ps step 4 and 5 are CRITICAL, use caution if steps are not followd

I had a bitch of a time getting those off to when I did my gears. What I did was put it in gear put a long screwdriver through it had a my brother on outside of the edge of the car with the 3/8's ratchet setup with a pipe on the end about a 1' more long and at the same time we were able to break them all loose one at a time. They sure are a bitch good luck..

Already tried.. well.. pretty much everything. Yesterday, and again tonight... put a little heat on them.. didnt want to get them glowing.. but wanted them nice and toasty... just a little propane torch is all we had to do this with.... tried to use a 1' 1/2" breaker bar on a shallow 12mm socket, parking break engaged and in gear so no drive shaft movement, my buddy holding a screw driver through the U joing and me at first pulling.. and eventualy KICKING THE **** out of the ratchet... I felt a little twist. and.. umm.. not the good kinda ohh it broke loose twist..... .so yeah, ive decided to just take it to a shop. These things are in there. The clutch was changed a couple years ago by a dealership, so no telling if these things were torqued WAY down, or if they were just saturated in loc-tite.. or what the deal was...
