Well, I tried the air hammer thing and got a bunch of impact marks in the nut. I worry that there’s just way too much rust in there. The pulley directly below has a bunch or rust, and the undercarriage has a ton of rust. I’ve also tried a crescent wrench and a sledge hammer. Nothing seems to break it loose so far. I haven’t ordered the wrench set from Amazon linked above since it’s over $100...does the air hammer and chisel normally tear up the edge like that? Or does it usually give and turn before then?

Should I be looking to see if something else is broken on the assembly?

Yeah, the answer was just hit it more with the air hammer. I did and it came right off real smooth. Thanks.
