Have to second the vice advice. Even with my supreme male physical strength, clamp-the-tool-turn-the-frame/wheel has been the only working approach on bottombrackets/freewheels.
If your apartment doesn't have space for a bench vice, consider attaching one to the wall. That gives even better ergonomy. When not in use, attach a board to the vice to make a coffee table/conversation piece.
Always check the righthand/lefthand thread issue before applying insane leverage. Google the the righthand/lefthand thread issue.
Double check the righthand/lefthand thread issue.
Triple check ...
