Default Swapping Pedals

I purchased new clipless pedals, and I'm trying to get them installed. I'm having problems getting the right pedal off. The left one (which is reverse threaded) came off pretty easy, but I have been doing everything I can think of to get the right one off. I've been using an opened ended wrench and then hitting the crap out of with a hammer and it's not budging. I also tried to use WD-40. Any clever ideas from people who have run into a similiar situation?

I was going to mention the left pedal, but see you got that already.
Have you tried a pedal wrench instead of just an open wrench?

I don't have a pedal wrench, so I'm thinking I'll need to drop it off at the LBS.

LBS did it for free. It's amazing what you can do with the right tools.
