Hand on same side as the bolt. I stand on the opposite side of the bike and lean forward & down so I can also use my weight.
I use a 1/2" drive breaker bar, not a ratchet. Less to flop around then another tool with a piece of pipe slid over it for leverage.
Sq. Dr. & 6 point sockets gives 12 different positions if you need to pick one for best leverage.
