You are fighting the effects of corrosion caused by Galvanic effect combined
with deteriorated shaft seals. I have had to cut them apart on occasion due to
the aluminum shoulder inside being too soft to hold well as I forced the nut
off after trying several methods to remove the outside nut.

Good luck!!!
