If it’s froze on, you may round off the nut with a crescent hammer.
Get ya a line wrench for the jam nut. Open end wrench on the body. If it don’t go and penetrating oil hasn’t worked, then heat the jam nut with a Mapp gas. Use another pair of wrenches as cheater bars (slide a box wrench over the end of the other wrenches) and let er rip.


Then oil your nutz!
