Deep impact sockets.
15 16 17 and 18
Short extention bar
900mm breaker bar
Adjustable jack stand
Small sledge hammer
Rattle gun
Smashed the 18mm on and trimmed the nut down with the rattle gun. Smashed the 17 on so it was tight. Cracked the nut and rattler off
The side you had a great crack at was smaller so sheered the nut with a 16mm.
Then smashed a 15mm on and that was very tight to get on.
It actully started peeling the lock nut back.
Breakrr bar on it and presto
Being a mobile mechanic I had every tool I needed right there
