You need a decent breaker bar

wouldn't you be better off using something like plus gas instead of wd40

The pinch bolt nut can be a real bitch.   I use a breaker bar and a hardened socket on mine (I seem to recall its an unusual size too..).

But what did you mean by heated up the rubbers?

Wondered that myself. Can't see how it would help, and over-cooking the rubber would be bad news.

why not just use the socket and like a breaker bar or shorter version then stick a howge (pronounced as howj) lol piece of scafolding on the end (maybe upto 3 foot long lol)
