If I remember right, it's a castlated nut...
If you remove the top plate on the transfer box, and the rear housing
(where the overdrive sits), you can open the tab on the locking washer,
and then use a drift to undo the nut.
I use an old pushrod, with the ball-end cut off. it only needs a couple
of sharp taps to break the grip and then you can unthread it by hand...
