I did Andy Saxons the other night. didn't bother with the windy, Breaker bar on and off it came like a good un. Resort to every day tools. It doesn't need impact, just torque.

Lefty loosey???
I know stating the obvious. Whilst Andy's came off with just his foot on the brake. I have in the past had to put a piece of wood though the back wheel when I have been on my jacks to crack the front sprocket nut.

yeah that's how I've done it in the past, this time round the chain is so badly fubared I've got the motor locked from the generated bolt as the chain just jumped on the sprocket
