How do you remove thevacuum switch/solenoid?

98 infiniti i30

The one with a green connector, it hasabolt on the bottom of it, and i can not for the life of me, get that nut off. I know its a 10mm, i used a wrench then a ratchet. Ratchets to big, not enough spsce to grab the nut, the wrench fits, but i have no space/ no leverage to crack it loose. What should i do? How should i remove i the proper way? THANKS!
