 While in the Navy I had the opportunity to watch a few propellers come off and go back on submarines.  I do believe some methods that I saw would have been applicable in your case.

 

1.   When at all possible, have a crane on the dock.  This provides adequate leverage

2.   Improvised tooling.  If step one is not enough, weld on a 20 ft. I-Beam.

3.   Explosives.  After the nut breaks loose, this will free the siezed part.

4.   Navy Seals.  Read three above.

 

Hope this helps next time.
