Can't loosen distributor clamp bolt HELP!!!

Craftsman makes some small wrenches which came in a set of tools I got. They work great for this. They're maybe ~4 inches long.

Doubt they would have enough leverage to loosen it.

Worked for me. Then again I've been playing tennis since I was a kid so my forearms and hands are pretty strong.

You're lucky then, believe me it has nothing to do with strength, my dad has been wrenching vehicles for years, he couldn't budge it and I've personally seen him snap bolts with a 3/8" ratchet. Whoever tightened this thing before me wrenched this sucker down so good I'd swear they did it with an impact wrench. Anyways I'm going to keep soaking it with some penetrating oil for a week or two then try a crowfoot wrench on it with maybe a little heat if necessary.
