Home Depot, Lowes, or the local plumbing store will have a length of "black" steam pipe that will have the right inside diameter to fit over your wrench handle. You need about 2' of pipe plus lots of penetrating oil. Use the Sheldon Brown bolt-sandwich to hold the wrench in place and smack the end of the pipe with the palm of your hand. No luck yet? Tap the end of the pipe with a good-sized hammer.
