it seems like the threads are stuck on the lock nut and wherever it goes the threads go.
is this possible?

if so the splines on the threaded piece are stripped and you will need hold them somehow...or as said earlier cut the preload nut off....

yes

then it is stripped inside..you need a new one...can you get a pipe wrench on the threaded piece when it it partially out...if so put a pipe wrench on the threaded piece and the preload nut and take off.....
