Default CV Nut stuck

well the suject pretty much sums up whats wrong. i went to go take out the drive shafts (or CVshaft) and the bolt is suck on, on both sides. i put some PB blaster on it already like 6 hours ago and it wont budge. i even was standing on the breaker barbouncing on it and it wontmove.all i got are hand tools. do you guys have any suggestions on how to get this sucker loose so my new clutch can go in?

Get a bigger cheater/breaker bar.
Get someone bigger to "bounce up and down" on it
Take it to a shop have them hit it with an impact to loosen it up and go back home and try it again
Umm hit it with another shot of PB Blast then take a heat torch to it.

well im thinkin about buying a corded electric impact wrench from the Habor Freight down the road, it says it has about 240 ft. lbs of torque and also buy a small torch to heat up the bolts....so my question is, do you guys think the electric impact will have enought torque to break those bolts free?
