I know it sounds hokey but when those faucet mounts become rusted like that you need to get violent.

First try a basin wrench.

If that doesn't work, try a hammer and a chisel to turn the nut.

If that doesn't work, grab a pair of channel locks and try to break the bolt off by using the leverage of the wrench.

If that doesn't work then take a sawzall or drill to the top of the faucet just above the bolt and try the demo it out.

If all else fails then disconnect the drain and pull the entire sink out to get the working room you need to remove the faucet. I've never had to go this far, but it might be something you should do prior to using any power tools because an amateur may accidentally damage the sink.

I own one of the tools in the image, they're pretty handy in these situations.
