If you have an air wrench you can probably spin the nut up if you use a high torque setting in short bursts to reduce how much the shaft spins, which can damage the piston seals. The fastest safer method I've found is to use a ratcheting box-end wrench/ring spanner on the nut and hold the flats on the shaft with Vise Grips/Mole Grips or an adjustable wrench/spanner.

If you haven't invested in a set of ratcheting wrenches, you'll wonder how you ever got along without them. GearWrench makes nice ones that are affordable (and they also are the maker of the Sears Craftsman versions).
Cheers,
Don
