      Use a quality ring spanner, and press anti clockwise, down towards the ground

      1. go back in time and don’t do any of what you’ve done to get it to that state.
      2. Get the right socket and hammer it on over the nut, then slowly work it back and forth in tiny increments until you get it loose.
      3. Go to the bike shop and get a new nut to reassemble it.

      turn anti clockwise. but youre fucked as you ruined the nut. use pennetrating oil and heat the nut, cool the axle, try again. also you can undo the smaller hexbolts and the ankerplate comes off so you dont actually need to unscrew the nut but only the 3 screws below it.

      this gets posted daily when people use wrong tools for the job. proper size socket wrench with breaker bar would have removed it in a second.

      You can change the inner tube without dissassembling in you are on a hurry.

      For dissassembly I would use a pliers wrench from knipex and a lot of wd40.

      If this is beyond your knowledge and capabilities, you really should take it to a decent bike mechanic. At the least, you need a new nut (assuming the off side is the same) or two.

      Vice grips, or locking pliers are the tool you need. It’s a minor issue if you have the tools. Kinda major if you don’t.

      I’d say at this point take it to a bike shop before doing any more damage. If you used the right size wrench and it messed up the nut like this, it’s likely a very low quality tool. Might be worth it to get better wrenches for the future.
