I bet that was exciting too  :-D

I dont want to get too excited and break anything!!!
I will need a new nut, but I dont want to have to buy a new clutch hub....

sandblaster:
If all else fails you can take a Dremel tool to it or a die grinder.
Most of the time you don't need to cut all the way through the nut.
The heat and stress relieve usually loosens it up nicely.

i will do that as a last resort. I dont want to damage the shaft, and knowing me, I will!!!

sandblaster:
Just go slow and easy.
Only cut about 3/4 of the way through.
Then, take a chisel and hit the nut counterclockwise.
Sometimes that breaks it loose enough to allow you to use the socket.
