Take the large socket and hold it against one side of the vise jaws (with the drive side of the socket against the vise). Then press the box end of the wrench against the socket, holding it in place. Make sure that the nut can freely pass into the large socket. Then hold the small socket against the nut, and tighen the vise down.

The end result is that the small socket should press the nut out of the wrench and into the larger socket.
i tried that. i was so sure it would work. no dice. i tried heating it up and that got it to budge at best. this is one stubborn nut!
