For $150 you can buy a right angle grinder and a new hub just in case. You should be able to cut through the end of the bolt twice to cut the nut into 4 pieces in under 8 minutes. Not gonna lie it will likely be a bitch to chisel off the pieces then hammer out the axle.

You could remove the whole carrier if you need to hammer on things but I think once you cut off the nut you can get the axle out. You may want to cut a square shape leaving a solid center not a plus shape through the middle it would mushroom when pounding out the axle
