Default 1995 5.0 Serpentine tensioner won't release tension.

We used a ratchet extension on the 15mm bolt in the counter clockwise direction as the manual says. It won't budge. The videos I have seen shows guys releasing tension on the belt with one hand. Should I just keep pulling harder till something breaks or sh I cut the belt and remove the t 50 torx bolt to remove and replace the entire tensioner? Think a soaking with PB Blaster would hurt anything? 110,000 miles. Thank you.
