Could be seized if it has never been removed before. Try spraying a bit of penetrating oil on the nut and allow it to sit for a while.

Not to be insulting, but make sure you are doing lefty loosey.

I replaced my springs about 3 weeks ago and found all the nuts to be easy except the nut that anchored brake line to the front strut. I didn't expect that.
