i assume you don't have access to air tools so instead a breaker bar + extension pipe should break that nut free with little effort.

put the wheel back on and try loosening it with the car still on the ground (if you aren't already).

what the red arrow points to. you have to straight that out before you loosen the nut, and tap it back down after you torque the nut.
