right easy way is to put two wheel nut bolts in on opposite sides then get a thin strong bar (i always use trolley jack handle to wedge between them so when it spins the pole wedges itself on the ground then you can use your breaker bar to undo the hub nutts, if your local can pop round and do it quickly if you like im in kettering

Normally i agree with GD, but not today, i have the chassis of my cabriolet sitting on a mates drive. I had tried everything with the body on in the past to loosen the hub nut but no luck.
this weekend my little mate came over hoping to break summat, but my compressor had broke so i gave him the blow torch (just a little one) and he heated it for a couple of minutes, i whacked on my breaker bar and a 7" scaffold pole and jumped.
Bang went the nut and loose it came.
Use heat, not a load but for a good long time.
if you apply the heat to just the nut it will expand faster than the threaded end it screws onto.
