A Torque wrench is a calibrated precision instrument and under no circumstances should be used to undo tight bolts by raising the setting ,
If using a socket the correct tool is a strong arm . If using spanners do as Artic shows and connect two spanners by using a 18mm plug or Allen key
Hopefully you have sprayed the bush / bolts with a release spray to soak over night
Follow Artic's pictorial and am sure all will be fine
Rust with age will be holding the bolt but once cracked they usually unthread easily . 150 Nm is about 111 lbs ft and you will find if you tighten a bolt to that setting in a vice it is not actually that hard to tighten ( Incidentally a lot of wheel bolts on modern cars are 150 NM )
