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.

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.
