It sometimes helps to clamp the joint again, top to bottom with a G-cramp,
and use the taper fit to stop the shaft turning.  Did you remove the split
pin first?  It isn't always needed but is more likely to make the joint
turn if it isn't out and the nut has to shear it off.
If that doesn't work easily, you'll probably have to cut the nut.  It's a
metric fine thread (IIRC).
