Ideas on how to remove outfeed roller on jet JP-12?

[festal]

So my outfeed roller is shredded to pieces and I finally got replacement but I can’t seem to be able to remove the screw holding the sprocket in place. Outfeed roller is round and nothing to grab on. I tried to put a piece of wood under the sprocket but it just keeps shredding when I’m trying to unscrew the nut.
Any ideas on what I can do here?

I would put the chain and the belts back on and use them to hold the sprocket in place while using an impact driver to remove the nut.

Hmm. Will try it

That’s a nylock nut, impact in short bursts.

Also make sure they are not left hand threads.

Didn’t need impact. Once chain was on and rollers engaged it locked in place and I was able to unscrew the nut
