Nut is being turned counterclockwise? A piece of steel pipe can often be used to extend the length of a breaker bar and increase leverage. Have also used regular candle wax or parafin to free up rusty nuts/bolts. Heat the nut and axle up untill hot enough to melt the wax easily. Touch wax stick to the threads of axle and wax will flow into the thread and often free up really stubborn ones. If all else fails you can always cut the old nut off with a dremel of other cutting tool. Not worried about axle being damaged as you are replaceing anyway.
