Front axle nut stuck

I'm taking the car all apart to do the clutch and am having a huge problem with the passangers side axle nut. I've tried my 3/8" impact on full pressure and max setting, I've tried heating it up with a propane torch since I don't have a oxy/acc torch. I've jumped up and down on a 2' breaker bar and it will not budge. What would yall suggest?

Spray with either PB Blaster or liquid wrench. walkaway for 30 minutes. Come back and spray again. Wait for a while then jump on it with a breaker bar.

Get the longest 1/2" breaker bar you can get (longer than a craftsman) and an impact socket (1/2" drive, ofcourse), stick a big screwdriver in the brake rotor so it butts up against the caliper, and stand on the breaker bar.

umm make sure you do what he said ^^, and make sure that some where on the nut doesnt has that dent, now for the gun, get a 1/2 impact drive, 3/8 is nothing for it, and yea pb blaster is good and some wd-40 if anything get new axels aswell.

I use a long piece of pvc pipe, over the top of a shop jack handle, over a breaker bar. I also like to use a jack stand to stabilize the socket underneath. For the love of everything good, use a six-point socket!
