I had a Harbor Freight 3/8 drive impact universal swivel that was in between them and as soon as I put any force on it the thing broke apart (repairable but not able to withstand the demon bolt torque).
Success came from a Snap-on 1/2 drive 14mm impact swivel socket and 1/2 drive Snap-on impact universal swivel along with a smorgasbord of 1/2 extensions and a 24 inch Harbor Freight breaker bar.

Just goes to show what having the right tools can do for you. I didn't even have to lean into it with my body weight and it took all of about 30 second including me getting under the car to make sure the socket was fully seated on the bolt head.
