Answer
Hi Cal,
If you mean the single large nut on the axle shaft that protrudes through the center of the hub, no that is a standard thread. Try rocking it back and forth in case it is rusted in place. It is torques to 180 foot-pounds so you would want to have the caliper in place and have a helper step on the brake to hold it in place while you torque it counter-clockwise.
