Let it soak in penetrating oil for a couple of days.
Real penetrating oil, not WD-40, etc.
If that doesn't get try heat.
Beware if you torque too hard you can break the wing welded on the nut that keeps it from spinning. If the wing breaks off you're up that well known creek as there is no way to get a wrench in there to hold the nut.
