If this is an AT car, you can get someone to jam a big screwdrive in the ring 
gear from below while you undo that bolt.

If this is an MT car, put it in gear. If that doesn't work, get the wrench on it 
and have a friend turn the engine over quickly with a starter. BE VERY 
CAREFUL with this approach. Watch where the wrench will drag your hands 
if the bolt doesn't break loose.

BE VERY CAREFUL! Done carelessly, you could lose some fingers.
