Are you sure it's a washer and not part of the flush valve?
It is the flapper unit that goes thru the tank, the threaded LOCK NUT (sorry) not a washer that is on the our side of the bottom of the tank.
As others have said. Tap it lightly with a hammer and punch in the correct direction to loosen it. If the assembly inside moves while tapping then jam something against it so that it can not move.
If nothing else take a Dremel and cut the nut away as long as you can get the replacement parts needed.
I already have the parts, I just can't get the Lock Nut off, I will give the hammer a try.
YEA ! Tapping a large screwdriver with a hammer worked, Looks like there was yellow wax on the threads. Thanks !!!!!
You know that's not "yellow wax" ...........
Right, it was a rubberband type thing ???
