get a big wrench or pipe wrench and put it on the nut with the wrench on the side of the axle closest to the motor and start it up and put in gear and let of clutch slowly and the engine torqe will break it loose.

you must have gotten the nut loose did what i told you work
any way with the big nut turned in you should have a small gap like this ( [] ) between the big nut and the cir clip ring OK put a screewdriver flat nose inbetween the ring and nut and put presure on the ring and when it starts to come out have another screewdriver ready to catch it so it does'nt pop back in . This is very easy but its hard to write it out. hope you understand what i mean.:D
