Generally speaking...if a nut feels like it won't come off with a reasonable amount of force...I take the torch and heat one flat on the nut to a dull to cherry red, slap a box end or an impact socket on it with a breaker bar, give it a turn (movement,usually back and forth) and take the wrench/socket off quickly in respect for the heat treatment in the wrench. Then let it cool for a few minutes and screw it off. While it's still hot I put a little penetrant on it...if available.
Sometimes when you're out in the boondocks and none of these methods are handy...the guy that said to smack the flats on the nut with a hammer (at least three of 'em) gets an "A". Fred OH
