either blast it off with an impact or use a cheater bar for more leverage. that nut can be pretty stubborn sometimes

make sure the lip that sticks out isn't crushed in anywhere. I'm not sure if they do this from the factory or only if the axle has been changed, but its WAY easier if you unbend it.
