I used a knipex cobra head pliers on a rusty brake flare nut on a ford, one shot of light heat and oil - and one heave with the pliers correctly installed and that nut broke loose with a bang.

If you correctly set the pliers you can grip a round pipe so hard that you can stand on the pliers handle.
