You might try tightening it a touch to break the gunk loose.

Yes,

1/2" breaker bars flex too much. I got a really beefy 3/4 breaker bar at
Harbor Freight for around $20. Nothing can defeat that thing !

I'd suggest using a 3/4" drive breaker bar and socket. Unfortunately they
can be quite expensive and somewhat hard to find. Several years ago I
picked up a 3/4" drive ratchet set of Chinese origin for only $30. There
have been a few occasions when I was very glad I had it. When I changed out
my differential was one, and my car has never been exposed to road salt or
winter weather.

FYI, Harbor Freight currently sells 3/4" ratchet sets for $49.99 & $59.99.
