Mean?  Not at all...

After my last experience with that seized stem nut (see photo) I do use anti-seize there.    :drinks:

Take the bike (if you don't have it all apart already) to an auto or motorcycle repair shop. Have them use an air impact wrench to pop it off.
See above photo....

The nut is not just tight; it's seized. Forcing it, whether by air or by hand, will only make it worse.
