Don't forget to straighten the axle, it is the foundation for all the other work you are doing. It has been my experience after rebuilding over 100 front ends that 99% of the axles are bent. I also suggest you replace the king pin bushings. They may feel "tight" but I bet there is some wear. Regarding your frozen nut, heat it with a torch and it will break loose. Just some ideas I have learned from experience.
