There is a lock tab washer that helps hold that nut in place. Make sure you unbend the tab before trying to turn the nut. (see photo)

If you are facing the nut, from the rear, you would turn it to the left to remove it.

To get mine off I put it in forward gear, remove flywheel cover, use a pry bar to hold the flywheel (and reversing gear) from spinning And then try removing the shaft nut.

You might know this already but you didn't have to remove the bolt to adjust the collar. You just need to back it off enough so that you can adjust the collar by one notch.

To get the magnets out you might try a strong magnet on the outside of the casing and slide it to a position where you can see it/reach it.
