I had the same issue. Your choices are to have someone hold onto the drum from the inside of the washer. Alternatively, I found that a quick 'jerk' of the wrench got mine loose.
P.S. when tightening it back up during reassembly, spin the drum in the opposite direction and as it is spinning, jerk on the wrench to get the bolt tight
