Once that countershaft nut gets broken free it usually spins off easily by hand. Getting it broke free seems always to be a problem! A couple things that have worked for me. (Presumes you already locking the transmission gears…):
1 – Grab the nut with the biggest pipe wrench that can fit up in the belly and get a good bite on the nut. Some “strong arm” applied to the wrench handle will then break it free.
2 – Find a piece of square keystock that fits in the nut slot and is about 8” long. Lay one end of the keystock in the slot then give the free end a whack with a large hammer.
-----
Here’s another I’ve heard about but not tried: Weld a piece of keystock to a large (eg. 1-1/4”) hex nut. Place the keystock end of the welded nut/keystock into the slot, then use an impact on the nut to loosen the countershaft nut.

Note! When reassembling the countershaft nut you only need to run it up hand tight – first time you use the belly pump the nut will tighten itself that last 1/16 turn or so!
