you could spray the nut with release fluid, wd40 or something similar, leave it overnight and try again.
or tap it very gently to lossen the rust.
or if not, heat treatment might work

I have some pretty good release fluid, i live in yarm if you wanted to pick it up. unless your friendly with a garage they may do it cheap bu i cant see how they would sort it any differntly.
a propane blow torch canister would sort it like, B&Q or local DIY will do them
