Default Spindle Nut -- Come off dammit

I can't get the spindle nut to come off

How do I get this thing? Is there a tab or a pin I'm not seeing? I had someone hold the brakes on and the wheel still, and using a breaker bar I could not get it to come off.

is it staked? you might have to unstake it. also...take the center caps off the wheels and put the wheels back on...try to take the nut off with the car on the ground. if all else fails, try to find a compressor/impact gun to use.

Finally I got it. I had a breaker bar with a 4 foot pipe that i found on it, pulled on the nut and the bar broke! Bought a new breaker bar, tried it again, and it broke loose after jumping on it. That was a bitch. I love Hondas
