trailer bearings leak - castle nut stuck (why?)

My boat trailer leaf springs rusted so DIY replacing them. My trailer bearings was spilling grease into my wheel well. so time to replace. But, the castle nut stuck. It is supposed to be free but it won't turn loose. It does not have a tang tongue washer behind it, so it is just unscrew conter-clockwise. Unsure why it is such a pain in the rear job.

any help you can give? thanks.

does it have a cotter pin in it? They can hide in excess grease
