    Get a bigger breaker bar as well. It's torqued up to around 146nm of force.

    I have the Halford's 3/4 drive socket set, comes in handy when changing sprockets and chains and doing larger nuts ( those over 20mm )
    I got it when it was on sale. Has a nice breaker bar in it as well.

    You'll need a breaker bar as well. Unless you have a impact driver. They can be quite difficult those ones.
