did you soak in penetrating oil and use a pneumatic
impact wrench (need a compressor for this)?
did you get a pipe to extend your leverage on a solid
box or open wrench/breaker bar? You might do well
with the car jacked up, on SOLID jackstands, and
pulling down from underneath using your body weight or
stomping on it?
A wire wheel on the exposed threads first can remove
the scale that your nut would otherwise traverse when
it was un-threaded.
