I had a similar situation when I was removing bits from my motorcycle: the last clamping bolt wouldn't come free. As counterintuitive as it may seem, you may want to REINSTALL the other nuts snugly while you're working on the stubborn one. It may relieve some of the pressure that is causing the last nut to jam on so tightly. Loosen each nut an equal amoutn as you go, instead of removing one completely before going onto the next.
That (and a blowtorch and hammer) worked for me.
Good luck!
