I've had some success with pulling on the breaker bar, and then whack the
breaker bar (about halfway down the handle) with a metal hammer. Sends a
shock wave into my hand, and also into the nut. The OP will probably have to
remove the radiator to get an impact wrench in.

Sorry to hear about the guy turning the gearbox the wrong way. That's no
good, to send the boss flying through the air.

If you can get a solid 6 point socket on it with a good breaker bar. Hit the
breaker bar with a large rubber hammer. It will come off. If you have the
room, a good impact wrench will get it off. Good and made in China are not
synonymous BTW: I have a 30" long Snap-On breaker bar. It would be
worthless for this job as it's springy. The breaker bar needs to be solid.

Reminds me of a mechanic up the street. Was trying to get the axle nut off
an old Studebaker. Put a large pipe wrench on the nut. Told his helper to
put it in gear and let the clutch fly while he stood on the wrench. Tossed
him about ten feet, broke his arm and shoulder. The helper put it in
reverse
