Then I got a couple of 10" 1/2"dr extensions, an 18" craftsman breaker bar, and a 6 foot piece of steel pipe and snapped the breaker bar. No luck.

I just bought a Propane torch today, so this weekend I'm going to make that sucker glow, and see if I can twist it off then!
Uh-oh. It's a normal thread bolt. You should be attempting to crank it counter-clockwise. I'd give the impact another shot if I were you. Good luck.
