Palnut is a registered trademark of TransTechnology and is the most common name used for these stamped sheet metal check-nuts. They work in a very similar manner as a jam or checknut but their construction allows them to distort under load and return to their original shape in the threaded area because the are made form a spring like steel. They are also lighter than standard jam nuts. Be advised they are not a substitute for a positive locking device such as a castle nut and cotter pin or a corner drilled nut for safety wire.

Using a small chisel and hammer, strike the base of the nut next to the (2) indentations that secure the nut to the shaft enough to force the tabs away from the shaft. You will still need vice grips or equivalent to move the nut back and forth to remove. Then have a beer.
