Yep. That is pretty common. At this point you need a large set of vice grips on as tight as you can get them then a torch to heat that nut to a cherry red and put the vice grips on and it will break loose.
Basically there is rust and corrosion in the threads so you need to expand that connection with heat and that will break that rust loose enough to loosen it.
Then when going back together, make sure you use a good amount of anti-seize gel on the threads so this doesn't happen next time.
Let me know if you need other ideas and I am sure we can come up with something but heat at this point is a sure bet.
