A few years ago I worked for two days with normal sized tools to break loose the wheel bearing nut on my 9000 SAAB, didn't budge.

I ordered the biggest torque wrench harbor freight had, about 4 feet long, 1 inch drive I believe, cheap , maybe $69.

Picked up the appropriate socket and walked out to the car with this puppy in hand.
I hooked her up, leaned on it a little, and the darn thing broke loose with hardly any preasure.
After wards I put the wrench up on my wall and its been there since. $69 well spent.

For those DIY once in a lifetime use kinda tools harbor freight is the place to go.

Now if you're a Pro I'd expect you to buy better costlier tools, for me I was in 7th heaven when a local HF opened up in Delaware.
