Are you getting rid of the Hotchkis springs? PM me if you are. I'm in DFW also, and may be interested.

You need to use an allen wrench on the top to hold the shaft in place, then try turning the nut with an open end wrench. It will be a slow process but should work, also hit the nut with some liquid wrench.
