I heated the nut with a small butane torch and pried some rust off with an old screw driver. Between heat and PB Blaster I removed most of the rusty scale. I unbolted the pillow blocks and tapped the shaft off the stone and pillow blocks. I then polished the shaft and cleaned the pillow blocks before re-installing. 
I have a metal lathe so cleaning the shaft was easy. I turned the crap off each end before polishing. I greased the shaft before installing.

I haven't had to remove the stone on my Jet but when the time comes I plan to use a strap around the stone itself to hold it while I use a box-end wrench on the nut..A few sharp raps on the wrench should break the nut loose. A three-prong wheel puller on the stone should remove it pretty easily.

Mark, did you decide on a plan?
I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.

I think I'm going to wait until the crack gets bigger.  It's usable now, and it might not be if my attempted repair goes south.

Thanks,
