Heating it with a gas torch. Heat must be applied generously and quickly so the nut heats faster than the mated part. It will expand thus loosening it. Turn quickly while hot.

Heat it with a torch, while it is hot, use an impact gun type wrench or a long breaker bar with the socket attached to it. Stand on the breaker bar if you have to just loosen it.
good luck
