Default axle nuts are siezed

anybody have any idea how to get axle bolts off. i am in the process of changing the front bearings. i have the 36 mm socket, used a 6 foot breaker bar, an impact with 300 foot pounds of toqure. can not get them to budge. oh yea lots of penetrating fluid has been used as well. thanks.

Angel grinder with a blue cutoff blade. Score the nuts at 4 places. Apply blaster for a couple hrs. Heat the nuts with mapp gas. Hit the nuts with a tempered chisel. Apply the impact wrench.
