Hmmmmmm. People having problems with the nut breaking ( getting it loose ) maybe need to get a long handled 1/2" drive rachet or breaker bar with 6" extention. Fotgot what size USA type socket I use. Lots of them enterchange close enuff. Depends what I'm cose to, my metric or merican stuff. Any way, I just get on the right side of the bike , put my foot on the brake, lean over the seat, put wrench on it and off it comes. You can pull better than push on a wrench and less likely to bust knukles. I just use a normal rachet to put it back on, then do the washer.
