Heat and oil work on rust. If problem is in threads that should do it (hit it with MAPP gas from the back side and capillary oil from the front). But really suspect you're dealing with electrolysis in taper where nut meets wheel -- don't know effect of heat on that. Remember to slow dill down. High RPM's will dull a big bit faster than anything. And use a lot of cutting oil. Could be situation where hammering works better than torque. Kind of like crankshaft pulley nut -- longest cheater in the world won't budge but a few raps with impact wrench spins right off. Is yours rounding off nut? If so, try forcing slightly undersize socket onto it (isn't graded steel -- that's why it snapped) and just beat away. Bound to be more fun than watching a drill bit spin all afternoon.
