you will need a 3quater inch drive to no adapters or reducers half inch WILL snap off. Then you can use a decent extension too

I bought a 1/2 inch breaker bar from Bunnings and used with a 36mm deep socket bought from a local auto supply store, along with a 1m piece of
galvanised pipe as leverage.

The 36mm socket is sold by Most VW shops...
I know Micks Motors keep them...
If the nut has previously been off and has anti seize or Moly grease on the thread it will come off using a Metre or 5 ft piece of 1 1/2 inch pipe on
a breaker bar...
Mine was on VERY tight..
snapped off My Sons favorite 1/2 inch Sidchrome breaker bar
YIKES... had to use a 3/4 inch breaker bar...
and swing off the end of it...
Best to undo that nut with the wheel still on the ground too..
so, a 1/2 inch breaker bar May snap off....
but a 3/4 inch one won't... You will of course need a 3/4 drive 36mm socket...
You can't use an adaptor for a 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch socket....
they are around 217 foot lks torque which is very High...
They also MUST be tightened the same way...
otherwise they WILL come loose...
cheers

This is just a generalisation not having a go at Shokwave or anyone else but why the hell do people even try and use 1/2" drive sockets on axle and
flywheel nuts.
If you can crack them loose without breaking even a quality 1/2" drive breaker bar then the nut wasn't torqued up right.

I used a 3/4" 40cm long? breaker and a smallish steel mallet. Tap, tap, tap, tap, off it comes.
I tried it also with a 1.5m long metal pipe  jumping on it. Didn't work
even with a person on the brake the wheel still slipped.
Rattle gun also is not very effective. I find the small breaker/ shifter/ T handle and a small steel mallet to work better than anything else.

This isn't true. I use a 1/2" drive 600mm long breaker bar on mine and it works fine. Just requires a large amount of elbow grease! My impact gun is
1/2" drive so it made sense to buy a 1/2" drive 36mm impact socket. I use both the rattle gun and breaker bar to get mine off.

Trust me, you're not doing them upto 220ft/lb then.
undoing the drivers side from that torque almost lifts the front wheels off the ground.
IRS isn't as critical, I just go by feel but swingers need that torque to keep the oil seal in check.
