It's hard to believe you'd get better leverage taking the crank arm off the bike. Yes, the boiling might work. But I'm hard pressed to think of anything more effective than an 18 inch long pedal wrench, putting the left crank forward in the 9 o'clock position, then have someone holding the bike on firm ground and then you kneeling with two gloved hands on that wrench . (Chain must be on and someone hits the brakes). But I've yet to see a pedal that stuck. If you get it free, can you show a pic?
