Adam.....after recent events (you know what I mean!!), it sounds like you may be familiar with this type of thought!!!!:sing::sing::sing::sing::sing:

..but I have tried 26 st mate on the bar, me on the brake/seat, and he lifts the back of the bike! So not budging at all....must get a bigger bar then...

Think Scaffolding (really) thats the kind of pole that mine took!!!!

I have one of those electric impact drivers that run off of the bike battery. It never fails to undo the rear wheel and sprocket nuts.

I just re torque the nuts when im doing them up.

I think that Halfords stock the breakers for about £15. I know its more expensive than the old scaffold bar routine but you can do it singlehandedly and dont run the risk of slipping off and ballsing up the nut or your fingers/hands.:D;)

Can vouch for the electric impact wrench - marvelous piece of kit that no nut can resist.
