You need at least a meter long breaker bar and loads of strength to do those up. - its stupid tight! its 120nm + 60 degrees and that = FT

i snapped my breaker bar trying to undo it to even start the job, so had to steal my dad's 3/4 inch kit- he does coaches .

Thanks everyone, I bought a 36mm socket, used my breaker bar and a 3ft cut off scaffold bar and with all 18 stone of me standing on the bar the nut finally came undone - i suppose being done up for 15 years and spinning for 138k miles it would be a bit shy to come undone!! Thanks for the advice everyone Rob
