I would use an air impact?A couple quick blasts it is off.

Put the bike in gear and apply the rear brake.

That wont work, his shaft is diconnected.

Did you bend back the dented part of the nut that locks it in place?

Buddy, if you are talking about the rear out put flange on the rear of the engine,
take two expendable bolts and put them through two of the bolt holes and hold it in place with a pry bar while you remove the nut with an impact wrench.

thanks Eric, that worked perfectly. When i put the new nut on should i use the impact wrench for that too.

should the oil seal, on the secondary drive as it comes out of the engine just slide right out ?

Use a torque wrench
