T-100 rear end grease bolt

I checked my spare tire air pressure today.While under there I was going to check the rear end grease level.Tried to remove bolt with 8'' socket wrench,wouldn't budge.Put a 16'' pipe on it ,no luck.Used a air impact gun,still no luck.
I was trying to back it off counter-clockwise,assuming it is right hand threads?Anybody got any suggestions on removing bolt to check grease/oil level?It has been awhile since its been off.
Thanks,
Tony3542

All I can advise is soak it with some WD-40 and let it sit for acouple of hours then come back and use some more ellbow grease. If it still won't budge, you need a longer breaker bar, say about 4-5ft long.

Quick advice, always loosen the fill plug first before doing the drain plug. Cuz you don't want to end up draining it all out and find out you can't get the fill plug off to fill it back up. Big trouble then.
