I thought we covered all that in the tech forum. You've got to use a big ol' pipe wrench to take that nut off. Probably a breaker bar too, and probably you'll have to use your legs to push against the bar. The reason is dirt gets in that stupid nut. The special tool is used so you can tighten it once the threads are clean, to torque spec with a torque wrench.
I've seen people cut the nut off with a dremel many times. It's because they just haven't thought it through.
