1. Well, I used the old nut before pounding the axel. (It looks like a pancake now) but using a brass cup is not a bad idea, the original nut has grooves on it so the edges tend to claps. I hope with the brass cup I will have more surfaces to work with.
2. What kind of solvent should I use?
I guess half a can of PB blaster over night did the job.
Still needed to hammer it pretty hard.
Now i need to figure out how to clean all the old grease.

I like to soak dirty greasy parts on diesel fuel inside a pan for a little while and everything cleans out pretty easy with a wire brush..
