Them things are TIGHT. Get a bigger wrench lol.
There may be thread locking compound on it. Try heating the nut up somewhat, about to the point to where grease will start to steam, and try it again, while it is still hot.

The only way you're gonna get it off is with an air ratchet. Take it to the nearby mechanic if you don't have one. by the way be sure to put it back together with air as well. Tried putting my Sport 400 together without air and wound up replacing the hub becuase it eventually stripped out. You just cant seem to get it tight enough without air.
