find a socket set with large sockets (best of they are the star type). Now find a socket that doesn't slide onto the lock nut, but one that you think with enough coaxing and a mallet might fit. Now get that mallet and hammer that socket on and use a socket wrench or breaker bar to get the lock nut off. use a flat head screw driver through the hole in the socket to pound the lock nut out of the socket.
