finally got it lose using the power steering and a 1/2 inch drive extension with one end with the socket on the bolt and the other end with a loose socket turn around!

with the above arrangement wedge between the bolt and part of the steering system; something had to break with the pressure from turning the wheel! fortunately it was the rest of the hub assemble that was rusted to the steering knuckle!
