A breaker bar, halfords sell them and halfords tools come with a lifetime guarentee because TENG make them :D
I use a torque wrench with a extension on, eliminates the chance of scratching wheels.
Supposedly you are not supposed to use a torque wrench to undo bolts because it affects the calibration. Use a breaker bar.

£5 each from renault :lol:
dam rip off that seeing they have a fault due to cromeing
torque wrenches should never be used to undo bolts...
I use a 4 way wheel brace, works a treat however the other day it slipped out of my hand (was pissing it down) and it twated the wheel, chipped some of the black paint off :cry:
i use a bar with socket on the and .. i think the bolts were tightend to mutch as i had 2 shear straght away with no presser
problem is if you get a wanker to tighten your nuts to much and they shear when getting the wheel off..
you have to twat them badly ..
also this is not a joke as seen
