There's this shop nearby Biketech21 which does this..Not very cheap..Have to leave the vehicle there..

 

If you been to BikeTech21 before, the small lane infront of the shop, continue going straight, there's a turn left exit..The shop is just after the left turn..Been i long long time since i went, should be correct..

invest in an impact driver! you will also need a hammer. i do hope you have this basic tool lying around in your house somewhere.

 

just get an impact driver in the right size for your nut, and give it one solid whack with the hammer.

 

if even an impact driver wont loosen the nut, then you are screwed. :/

Dude, juz use a wrench to hold the jam nut, then proceed to unscrew the nut.

A Jam nut is juz used to reduce further loosening of the nut in the event it becomes loosened unintentionally.

 

If u are toking bout using an impact driver, its a jammed nut, not jam nut!

first find out if the thread is cw or ccw.

can probably try to take a pic of how the nut looks like.. and yeah.. supposed to turn clockwise or anti clockwise..

whatever the reason you need to remove the nut, you can try asking bikeshop to remove the nut and repair what's needed..
