Bike in gear, chain guard off, piece of 3 X 2" timber through the spokes of rear wheel and across the top of the swinging arm to lock the rear wheel completely, socket and the longest torsion bar you have and swing on it, get a friend to support the bike to stop you pulling it over. In the end I had to take a hammer and blunt chisel to mine and drift it around but even then it did not give up easily.
Good luck
This was my next plan,but went in this morning cable tied the front brake got my beloved wife to lean on the rear brake as hard as possible,my daughter to stop the socket from coming off the nut,a 3foot scaffold pole on my long bar.The first time the wheel skidded but the second try it come loose!you'd have thought I'd won the lottery,thanks for your replies anyway. :thumbup :thumbup :thumbup
never look down on anyone unless you're helping them up.
