SOURCE: UNCOOPERATIVE AXLE NUT
If I recall correctly there is no split pin locking the nut in place. Look at the faces of the nut. Any drill hole filled with a pin? Grab a propane torch and heat the nut/bolt. Try not to burn the paint. Tap the nut faces with a small hammer to assist in breaking the nut free from the rust holding the nut in place.
Use a hex socket or hex box end wrench. If you have an impact driver, use it with the hex socket. If you don't have an impact driver I strongly suggest you get one. They are low cost and the most used tool in my shop. I sleep with mine close at hand. If that nut is going to break free the impact driver is what will do it.
Please rate this solution after the impact driver has removed the nut. Thanks for the top rating! :)
SOURCE: bottom nut won't tighten
I use an air impact gun to tighten. Also with the fork off, try compressing it some while tightening the bolt may help. Yes, they do make a tool, but I've done many forks without needing it.

Hi zoli1200gs , I want to help you with your question, but I need more information from you. Can you please add details in the comment box?
Are you saying that after tightening the nut to the correct torque, it is still loose?
