I had to use a 2 foot torque wrench and a 3ft length of scaffold pole to get my rear wheel nut off recently. I had to lock the rear wheel into the paddock stand using a chunk of wood and I actually bent the paddock stand!!! I had to launch it after that as it was totally useless.

In fact I was quite lucky, as my attempts to get the nut off with the pole could have led to the bike falling off the standing and causing all sorts of damage.

So proceed with caution and get some help too!!
