What tool are you using?
A proper lambda socket (with wire slot) or a large (adjustable) spanner.
My advice is if using a socket then use a long breaker bar handle on it to give leaverage. And if using an adjustable spanner then use a good quality one as these really do make a difference over cheap stuff. My teng spanner will do it no probs, where as my cheap chinese crap one used to open up at the slightest of pressure and start to round the hex off.
 
Im using a large adjustable spanner, What about running the car for a few mile then pulling over into a layby and change it there lol?
