Spray nuts with penetrating oil - PB Blaster, WD-40, etc. Let sit overnight. If rust/corrosion is really bad, repeat.
You're going to need a lot of torque and/or impact. You can buy small electric/battery impacts for pretty cheap nowadays - can be well worth the cost just in reduced frustration levels. Or use a long-handled wrench.
Applying heat can help but do NOT use an open flame under your car. Even a hair dryer can ignite gas fumes.

Good luck.


Edit: Forget the impact wrench. See discussion below.
