   They're splined. So you just need to yank them out of the gearbox.

   They usually have the nuts that are punched into a groove on the end of the shaft if you are talking about the big nut on the hub?
   
   If you look closely you might see where it has been dented inwards......knock it back out, get someone on the brakes and get a big break bar haha

   Fair enough............. God knows then. Mine where tough but managed them with a fairly big bar. The nut was a pain though I had to knock it out a few times because even though it looked clear it was still catching so I went around the whole nut tapping it outwards so it was well clear
