I deal with hard to remove pedals, with the heavy park pedal wrench,
with the bike on the ground, not on the repair stand, in the air..
1) I have the ground to push against,
and 2) I can step on the pedal wrench with my foot or even add a cheater pipe over the handle ,
and step on that ..

+10 for soaking in diesel!!!!!
Soaked in bucket of diesel from Sunday the 1st until today. Drove to the Co-op and put the cranks in a vise (after wrapping them to protect against scrapes. Drive side spun right off, left side took a bit of elbow grease.
Will see if they can be buffed up
Thanks to all - Ps bought another pedal wrench because I am sure there will be a next time...
Free at last!!!!

And the universe is stable once more.
Glad it worked for you. It would have been a real shame for those cranks to end up in the recycling bin.

All about learning and this be the place for knowledge.
Using a pedal wrench inside a bar and starting to pull the vise loose and then after soaking in diesel having one pedal pedal loosen in seconds. Quite a contrast!!
