I do hold it sometimes, I have the belt and clutch off of the buggy. Even with the fan un-held in any way, if you put the impact wrench to it, it may turn a full revolution once in a while. Most of the time it just sits there in utter defiance! I don't think my problem is the fan turning, it's more about the nut that is just part of the buggy. I think the compression of the engine is holding the fan from turning much at all. I tried to impact it foward, and reverse. 600ft lbs just isn't enouigh pressure.

I would torch that baby. It needs heat. Don't worry...you aren't going to blow anything up.
Do you keep your Talon in an unheated space? Like your garage or something? That would contribute to the electrolysis. Moisture will speed up the process of dissimilar metals fusing together.
Make sure that when you do get that nut off that you put anti seize compound on the threads. This will prevent it from happening again.
bic lighter? bic lighters are fine for lighting cigarettes but not putting heat on a stuck nut. You need serious heat from a propane torch or something similar.
