The nut holding the hub on is conventional (right hand) thread, but it's staked, and there's a domed locking washer behind it too. It can be a sod to get off without a decent holding tool, especially if someone's [unnecessarily] used Loctite or over-torqued it previously.

Get an old steel clutch plate and weld a handle to it, or alternatively buy one on the dreaded internet.

The official Honda tool looks like a mutation of a pair on mole grips, or as Les says, you can weld a handle to an old clutch plate:

Yeah, between them being staked, and the special conical washer behind the nut, they can indeed be on there pretty tight... especially if someone's used Loctite previously too!
