if you dont have a bigger torch, heat it with the small torch, and then immediately spray pb blaster on the parts, it will smoke and stink, but the blaster cools and penetrates instantly, usually breaking the rust bond the parts have, i've had great luck with that technique
You need a couple 2" or 50mm wrenches at $50-$80 each. Kinda steep for a one use tool.
In the voice of Blaaster:
"That ain't a wrench, THIS is a wrench!"
And this is what you do with them:
These are just mild steel but they will do the job without bending. 1"x.5" and 2"x.25" and a stick welder.
As others have said, heat and PB Blaster. Anything with the name Blaster is good.
If they squeak when you start moving them, use heat and candle wax to prevent the threads from galling.

this led me to believe he's just trying to get the wheel hub/nut off the end of the axle, to slide the rotor off ?
Sheesh, you are right AWK, I gotta read closer.
Heat,PB Blaster and the right socket are the right answers.
These hubs are often Locktite'd on, both threads and spline, so both nut and hub need heat.

wow best, those are some serious wrenches, only thing i can see is if you get your fingers in between them while trying to break the nuts free, its like a paper cutter lol.
