Next weekend we'll continue. We'll be adding a wheel chock, lower the air pressure (?), sledge hammer the breaker bar to shock it into release. We might need 5 people

... metal is a good heat conductor. Therefore, changing the overall temperature will not matter. Everything would expand or shrink the same. However, if you rapidly bring heat to the nut, you stand a chance. The heat then will be larger near the heat source as compared to the rest of the wheel. In such a case I believe that the nut may indeed expand faster than the rest of the wheel. It is worth trying. But I agree, make sure you will not damage the wheels! Aluminium can burn very well in a flame!!! I would prefer either hot water or a kind of electric hot plate.
