Soak it good with penetrating oil and get a 3/4" drive breaker bar and a 3 foot cheater pipe. If that does not work, a torch will.

a big 3/4 in impact wrench works best. a long pipe and muscle is next best. a nice, dangerous, killer style shade tree method is to wedge the breaker bar against the ground and drive forward or backward to loosen the nut. use extreme caution and keep the children away, as this can break tools in a violent manner and with great satisfaction.

if you don't have any of these, take it to a tire shop and have them break it loose, then apply antisieze and reinstall the nut but not quite so killer tight.
