Exclamation Cleaning TB -- Can't Get Screw Off!! Help, Please.

Remove this ad
The bottom screw of the last piece to take off to get to the throttle body is stuck. I used WD-40 and this thing is hard enough to get to without being stuck. All other pieces are off. Any suggestions as to how to get it off? I have a ratchet with an extension and the 9/32" on the end. I also stuck it to one of those screw driver-like things...

Too soon of a post.
Just sprayed more WD-40 and used a smaller extension for the ratchet.
