Default rear end bolt removal

How do you guys get the bolt out to change the oil. I can't seem to get a wrench on it enough to break it. Six point socket doen't work either. Is there some special wrench or socket?

Thanks! John

12 point socket 11/16 I think or maybe 13/16. One of the 2 will do it, just cant' remember the right one off the top of my head. I learned that trick right here on the forum.
