So what i gather you are saying from your detailed Q ! is "THE NUT" you refer to may possibly be axle lock nut.It may appear as one nut,but there are two.To loosen turn the inner lock nut COUNTERCLOCKWISE.It is left-hand threaded,so it will be turning towards the disk brake.Now turn the outer lock-nut same direction and it will expose a stopper ring (like a circlip).The threaded tube(lockbolt) and locknuts will now slide off axle.
