Would you shock it first ,by giving it a "tap" with a hammer

I dunno, I undo things like these with impact air gun. If you can lock the flywheel than large enough breaker bar should help too.

Thanks guys....impact gun would be the go if I had one ..might try the hammer TD..other than that it's down to brute strength and a big assed breaker bar

You need to "crack" it if you only have a brako bar.
short and fast, buy tapping it with a hammer to shock it'
you'll break the seal of what ever thread liquid was used

If your budget doesn't stretch to an air impact set up...

Years ago I bought one of the Ebay 12 Volt rattle guns primarily for undoing wheel nuts.
IMHO they are very good value for money at $50 and the gun got so much use around various vehicles on suspension etc I am now on my 2nd one and don't go bush without it
