What length breaker you using? Guess you still got wheel on, and doing through the centre bore of the wheel?

Hmm, cannot really assist much more over the net! sounds like you got the tools for the job. What type of bolt is in there as theres a 6 sided and a 12 sided? My next option would be a bigger bar I guess, or extend the one you got although your not meant to  :evilgrin:

Hopefully someone with a bit more experience will be along  :happy2:

Ideally you'll need a 3/4" impact socket and a 1M 3/4" breaker bar to do it by hand, they are tight as hell and most likely a bit corroded too. Or with wheel off ground get someone to press brake pedal and undo with impact gun
