I come across ridiculously tight wheel bolts/nuts very often. Never had one beat me yet!
Just an impact socket on 1/2" breaker bar with a 3' extension on, bounce gently on it with one or both feet whilst smacking the pivot point with a large lump/ small sledge hammer. Normally crack after 3 or 4 taps.
