    Reverse thread if you did not know.
    I just hold it with a grinder wrench or if too tight just jam some allen key in there.
    A quick "tap" with the 32 wrench get better results than just apply force to it.

    I’ve tried all of that, nothing. I’m turning right instead of left

    Vise grips and big crescent wrench

    it was easy. And the vise grip pliers come in handy for a lot of things. I use them all the time, not just for car work.

    That, plus a hammer did the trick! Thank you for the picture too!
