Thankfully, the lord made me rather large and heavy, and it seems that in this rare case, my bulk wins over you skinny minnies as standing on any breaker bar has always got my nuts undone...

(oo-er)

If you need to stand on the nuts to get them off... then you have seriously over-tighten them

I am tightning mine at 120 newton meter and use cobber-grease on them(so they do not rust together in there...

More than 120 nm could damage your alloys I believe(if you stand on it with the weight of 100 kg... I would assume you go between 200 and 300 nm of tight'ning torque)

Just my 2 cent
