Got it apart by using the leverage amplification method. I used a 2' length of pipe as an extension on the wrench handle. I held the frame steady in the workstand and my 20 year son turned the wrench. It must have been torqued to 150 lbs as it took both of us to break it loose. Don't know why it was so tight. Thanks for all the input.
