As the general consensus appears to be that I do not know what I'm talking about, and cause more harm than good, I am removing this post so that others are not tricked in to following my ill-advised instructions.

Green1 is right, it is the same set up as the L300s

Because dirt and water get thrown up there under the body, squirt some penetrating lubricant on the big nut and let it sit for a while before you crank it off.
