Default Cant get hub nut off!!!

I want to change my gearbox so got steering rack nut off the hub but cant get the middle nut (in the mid of the brake disc) off!!!! It had a slight groove in it so straightened that but it wont budge with all my weight on it!!!!!!

Any ideas?

Leave the shafts in the hubs. Theres enough movement in the suspension strut (bottom ball joint out) to swing the shafts out of the way.
