Find yourself a big long thick piece of pipe, about 10' foot long sounds about right. Either jam a screwdriver down into the rotor and let it turn till it hits the caliper and stops or put the wheel back on and have someone sit on the brakes to keep the hub from turning. With enough pursausion, they will pop. A little PB blaster on the threads and whack it a few times with a hammer (the vibration will help pull the penatrating oil into the threads) won't hurt. I'm 210 pounds and I had another 180 pound guy hanging on an 8' foot pole before mine finally came loose. You'll obviously need a good breaker bar and get one that you can take back when it breaks/bends (craftsman is good). You can pickup new axle nuts at Honda for $4 a piece last time I bought some.
