The upper wheel bearings are shot on my Jet 18" bandsaw. I removed the upper wheel and found that the bearing shaft has a nut on one end that must be removed before the shaft can be pulled out. The opposite end of this shaft is round and can't be easily held in a vise to remove the nut. The bearings are held in place with two retaining clips on the inside of the wheel. Is there a way to remove this nut?
Here is a link showing the upper wheel diagram:
