i used some really good penetrating oil(called aero-kroil) and let it sit for a while. then get someone to hold the brakes and use a big pipewrench(and maybe a cheater bar) to get the nut off. remember the treads are left hand(rightey loosey). if you don't break the stock carrier, you be best off gettin stock bearings. i've used moose bearings, and some i found in an ag store, and neither lasted for crap. i think you can put the carrier in the oven for a while, and the bearings should come out easier

have you taken the chain and sprocket off?? If not throw her in gear and have someone hold the tire at the same time. Also if you have the chain on there, once you get it loose, hold the pipe wrench and have someone start the beast and run it in 1st gear, a lot faster getting the nuts off, just be careful;)
