Axel Nut

[Noxtol]

Not a Blaster, but a 2000 Warrior I have has bad carrier bearings, I went to replace them to find that the axel nut spins freely in either direction but will not slide off the axel.
How do I get it off without destroying the axel, I don’t mind buying a new nut

You could try cutting/grinding it off. The problem is it's a really fine thread. 50/50 chance the axle could be stripped too.
