Too late now, but would have been worth trying a bit of load with the axle jack and then tapping the wrench with a copper hammer over the top of the nut.

The other option would be take a blowtorch to the nut for a while, then try it, but only problem with that is the wheel (you'd have to make a small funnel heat shield to protect the wheel from the heat).
