PB Blaster. Then, a long breaker bar. If you break the socket doing that, get an impact socket (they're stronger). And, make sure you're applying the torque to the nut side (the bolt side requires a little more force to break free).

If what Jerome said doesn't work, you could use a propane torch to heat the nut, then use a socket and breaker bar, that should get it off.
