augur and reboot the sucker. Can't for the life of me break the augur(

Heat. Lots of it, as from a torch, usually works on things like that. Or let
it set for a day or so with penetrating oil.


And use an impact wrench. Air type is OK, and electrics would be
second choice, but there are also hand + hammer types that will accept
an impact socket.
