More leverage. If you are using a wrench, put a piece of pipe over it and use that to make the lever longer. Apply firm steady preasure and intermitently increase how much torque you give it.

Be sure to use the right size wrench or you may strip the bolt. In which case throw your craftsman wrenches away and buy snap-on, which will still take your stripped bolt out if you do strip it.

If the bolt is rusty you may want to try letting some penetrating oil loosen it up first.
