Best success I've had is with an air impact;   If not available next best is 
one of those short tools that you hit solidly with a hammer.  Neither available 
a long 3/4" breakover bar with a pipe over the end to increase leverage and let 
a 300 pound friend jump on it.  PB blaster wouldn't hurt but probably won't 
help either.  It isn't rust that's holding it on normally.

whacking at the 46mm nut with no luck for the last 30 minutes....I wonder if I 
could apply some PB Blaster on the nut to help loosen it.... 

I got the vice grips .......
