Torque wrench recommended.

Yea, doh! I meant 3/8 not 3/4 as that is even bigger and I don't have sockets that big!

I recently bought a 1000mm 3/4 breaker bar……t’is very big

Another vote for Halfords Pro/Advanced tools, they're well made and come with a lifetime guarantee

How do you get your rear wheel nut off?

On my 748 I used a breaker bar and a length of gas pipe/scaffold pole.

I’ll give another thumbs up for Halfords Professional range although since they changed from that to ‘Advanced’ I think the quality is not quite as good but it’s still covered with their lifetime guarantee and the only thing I’ve managed to mangle was a 7mm spanner which wasn’t really being used for its intended purpose (getting a bit more leverage on an Allen key).

I also love Britool stuff and regularly use some spanners I was bought for my sixteenth birthday, making them over thirty five years old!

A compressed air, 18volt or mains impact gun is often successful with less fuss than a scaffold tube on a breaker bar.

I agree with Darkness- I bought this a couple of years ago off eBay for about £40 when I changed my clutch basket.

At a claimed 450Nm it’s not very subtle but it does seem to shift stubbornly tight fixings- I certainly wouldn’t use it to do them up though so you’d still need a suitable torque wrench for reassembly.

My question was a reference to Darren's post about not having 3/4 sockets. Perhaps I should have used a smiley
