Back plate pops off with a screwdriver then your presented with a MASSIVE nut to undo.
Electrolysis is the way to go to remove the rusty crust

Yes. To get the nut off I applied a lot of heat until the nylon insert melted. You have to replace with a new nut, of course, but you were going to
dao that anyway, weren't you ?

if you have a 6ft breaker bar and 2 people you might not have to result to such brutal methods of using a blow torch
