Ed,
Remove the radiator, raise the engine slightly to have a clear path to the
nut, then with the locking washer flattened, use an air or electric impact
driver on it's highest torque setting. It will pop free almost right away
without having to resort to long bars, etc. that can only damage things if
or when they let go.
