Yes. Step on the rear brake. You need leverage (long handled ratchet/piece of pipe fitted over the handle of your ratchet OR an impact gun). You can also just use a cheap breaker bar.

Hi. I will try it again, this is the tightest Nut I had to break . I can't believe how tight it is , the last person who tighten must of been paranoid the rear flying off . Haha

Step on the rear brake and try to use this tool best tool I've ever used for it. I also use a rear stand with the cross tube that hold the wheel either way.

No more braking my torque wrench.

It's on tight 172ft/lbs. I use and impact driver on my 1098, 1299 and Multistrada and a SpeedyMoto socket designed for just this purpose

yea get this makes the job very easy but you will need a torque wrench to tighten.

Where did you get this and how much?

Like that ?

That's a Stanley Steel Custom tool from Netherlands. $350.00 but is worth every single penny. I learned the hard way after braking my $600.00 dollar Torque wrench.

Never use a torque wrench to loosen a highly torqued bolt - only to torque to spec ;) A $20 breaker bar from Amazon or Harbor Freight works just fine!

I agree with you but when you are working on a weekend with hardly any places open I used what I had handy

They are actually made by UHR-TEC in Denmark, and by the sounds of it,
then marked up in price considerably by the Dutch sellers.

All of Ulf's work is first class and fairly priced for what it is, and he is a damn
nice chap in person too.

Yes I agree with you the tools and stands he makes are very nice top quality. The best toll I would likely buy is the tire dismount tool but is way too much shipping across the ocean.

Very nice person to deal with.

Yup, I have one of those too. Folds up really compact for squeezing into the van
for race weekends.
I'm lucky, in that I just drove to his home to pick my stuff up. He is about 1 hr away
from me.
 
If a breaker bar isn't doing the trick, a decent electric or air-powered impact wrench will do it. Use a torque wrench to put it back on - not the impact. Keeping the threads and stuff properly greased should help for the next time around.

Any impact wrench will damage any nut does not matter how good you are with it. This bikes require special attention. IMO.

Yes but it won't look as cool as that nice looking tool he got from Europe.

I wrapped the outside of mine in one layer of electrical insulation tape, saved the nut from any damage with the air impact wrench.

She is on tight...

Been taking rear wheel nuts of 916's, 996's, 998's, 1098's, 1299's,Monsters and Mulistrada's, have yet to see a single rear wheel nut with any signs of damage from the impact wrench and SpeedyMoto socket.

20 years of doing these, I'll keep doing it this way until I don't like the results.
