Default rear leaf springs

I have a 68 coupe and I am replacing the rear leaf springs. I got the ubolts and rear bolts out without a problem but the front bolt is not moving. Is there a trick? Am I missing something? Any suggestions?

If that don't work you can heat them up and let cool then try. If that don't work get a cheater bar about 6 feet long. If that don't work you can cut it off with a nut cutter.
