Yep, you definitely need a breaker bar. That extra leverage will help. I used a 24" Kobalt 1/2" drive to loosen the bolts... even with that it was pretty tough.

I wouldn't hit the bolt directly, but you can hit the ratchet or wrench to get a little bit of an impact gun action. I have to do that to break the caliper bolts loose because I can't really get that much leverage inside the wheel wells. Just don't whack it too hard!
But the breaker bar is going to be your best bet.

A rubber mallet is pretty good as well, but there is really no problem just giving the bolts some good taps... But agreed on the breaker bar!

Yes I jacked the rear of the car up for my exhaust install.

I just wouldn't want to damage it.

But with the bolt being fairly new, a breaker bar is a good call
