i had the same problem on an old zx9r. someone had used super strength loctite on the nut. even a rattle gun couldn't take the nut off. i welded an old clutch plate to a length of pipe to hold the basket but she wasn't going to budge. heat had no effect either.
in the end, i had to grind the nut off. i had to take it slow to avoid damaging the threads of the shaft.
good luck with getting your nut off! (does that sound rude?)
