The possibility is that sometime you hit something and that impact
stretched the bolt (or shaft if it really is a nut on a shaft; that
would be unusual for anything but electric but I've not had an electric
so perhaps they do).
If that is so, the impact wrench is probably about the only hope. If
that is the cause for it being so tight, you're looking at a replacement
shaft/bolt/whichever.
Had it happen on one of the blades on the 6-ft belly mower; took a 3/8"
pry bar through the upper drive pulley as a backup and that bar simply
bent rather than the bolt coming out.

Impact wrench is your friend. Often you can rattle loose a
bolt that's not responding to steady pressure.

It would be the whole motor armature. :) BTW, that ebay armature
used to show the threads was only a dollar this morning, and sold for
6.50 plus 12.25 shipping. A good price I'm sure, but I can buy a new
one if I ever need it.
