kinda like me looking for my truck keys this morning,
im yelling at my guys to help me find them, after 20 min, they start craking up
laughing, bobby says (he, dumazz, look in your hand!
i look at my left hand, they go hysterical, they were in my right hand.
uhhh, duh!~
i only had one wrench big enuf, so i put a rod thru the sprocket across the swinger to hold it all still, and you're prolly gonna need a cheater bar on the wrench, i had to stand and bounce on mine to get them to break loose
this thing was in really bad shape when i caught the sickness 2 years ago

check out your local Harbor Freight. I bought (2) 24" long crescent wrenches for $15 each. Ive made more money renting this to peps. They are the best investment Ive ever had.
when u reinstall them electrical tape over the nuts. it helps to keep dirt out and makes tahem them off 4 years later as easy as the say they were put on. put the tape on the oppositte direction the tires spin.
just a helpfull racer tip i learn years back. XC guys do it alot and tape the entire axle too

got the first nut off but i cannot get the second one to move at all!! getting pretty fustrated with this lol
When all else fails, heat the crap out of it. You never know if someone used red locktite on it. besides i allways use heat with stubborn nuts or bolts.
I put a bar through the sprocket to jam it up then have a 3' adjustable cresent wrench I use to remove even the most rusted, stuck, frozen nuts...
thatlll do wonders for a painted swingarm and sprocket hub. would be much easier to have someone hold the brake 8-|
