To get my hub nut undone I used a nice fat breaker bar but to no avail so I slipped a bit of scaffold pole over it (about 7ft long) and then twisted it off with one hand and zero effort!

I drive my car on the weekends so it's not a ornament.
It looks pretty.
Just some bits I can't do my self. Not everyone is a mechanic on here. :roll:

Thanks for the double spanner idea. I'll give it a go when I'm free after work tomorrow!

If its the rear bolt giving him grief, its tight getting a spanner in. There isn't enough room as either the strut top, rear seats, and the car body are all in the way.

Ratty's method works best as it clear the strut top so give's plenty clearance all the way around.
