Fred,
If you have the apron and radiator off the easiest way is with an impact 
wrench.  I struggled for 45 minutes with a socket and cheater bar.  I then 
used the same socket with an impact wrench, 10 seconds and it was off.  I now 
use the impact wrench on pretty much anything that might take a struggle.  I 
have also found that the impact wrench seldom rounds off nut or bolt corners.
