You need to remove the Nut off by using what is known as a "pickle Fork" or a tie rod fork.
You put the fork in between the two parts and tap it in with a hammer, that will keep the bolt (shaft) from turning and you can then get the nut of. Or if you use and impact gun, hit the trigger several quick times on and off, and it will remove it.
