Re the above. The ratchet was used once the nuts had been cracked with the bar. 1982 88" 2.25 diesel

Just come to the conclusion that we are sad people.
Me for starting this topic. Those that read it. And those who contributed to it. 
P.S. I just finished painting the axles and springs on a series 111, undercoat and gloss! I think that about says it all  1982 88" 2.25 diesel

The only fault I can find with that is that it is in the middle of the road.

Noooo way, and here is me messing on with axle stands, timber, outrigger mats from a scissor lift and a sledge hammer to knock the wheel off. 10 out of 10 as well

My impact hammer is a very fast way to destroy the nuts. I only use the wheel brace and occasionally the hammer to quickly do and undo them but not the final bits or cracking them off. Ed

Have i been doing it wrong for 30 years?never use a wheelwrench ....I always carry an old socket bar ..the ones that let the bar slide equally each side and a suitable socket and a small 2lb hammer.....never had any trouble getting a nut off with minimal effort!
