Stupid negative battery terminal bolt

Hi guys,

I'm installing the radium oil catch can in my twin and I am stuck on step one. I need to remove the main negative lead on the battery and adjust it 90 degrees so that the catch can can sit in it's place. It's stuck and I've been trying to remove it for two hours. I've tried pb blaster, breaker bars, and impact wrenches and NOTHING has worked. How the hell do I remove this bolt?

I have dropped the transmission, torqued bolts with multiple universal joints, and nearly broken my arms undoing bolts on this car, but THIS goddamn bolt is THE most difficult and time consuming bolt I have ever had the displeasure of unfastening.

Help a homie out please

i would take it off the battery first, and then hold it with a channel locks while using an impact to break it loose.
