Default I need help QUICK!!!!

I am trying to install a rekluse and I need to get the clutch nut loose. Is it reverse threads, meaning lefty, tighty; righty, loosey??? From what I have read (and maybe I'm reading it wrong) it is regular threads. I have tried to break it loose with an pneumatic impact, no go; an impact wrench that you hit with a hammer, no go; I have tried a ratchet with a cheater bar, a very long cheater bar and it ain't budging! I see where the nut needs 60nM of torque when installed and I checked trying to loosen it with a torque wrench and it was quite a bit more than the 60nM.....

I'd really like to get this job done today, so I can ride Monday. Somebody help
me.....please!?!
