Try putting the nyloc nut back on a few turns then use the levers
against that and the drop arm , put on the pressure and at the
same time hold something heavy against one side of the taper in
the drop arm and give a sharp blow with a hammer on the opposite
side . That should work , it's not easy and you need an extra pair of
hands .
Good luck
