Two ways to get leverage: put a second wrench on the threaded race (under the locknut) or put a wheel on the forks and use your body (or something) to stabilize the wheel. This has the advantage of gettingyour leg and back muscles involved.

Don't neglect the liquid wrench. All it can damage is the crud that is holding it stuck.
