I think I needed to use a box spanner with a trolley jack handle levering on it, to undo one of mine. The other was no problems at all. If its really tight and you're hammering it, you'll need to replace the nut and might damage the thread too. If you use the proper tool, it will be easy even though its tight. eg if you have access to an air powered impact driver, it will be easy.
