Got the 27 mm sprocket and decided to use a small 8in breaker bar with the bike in 1st gear and someone holding the rear breaks. Bad idea...the breaker bar bent...its ok it was a cheap one. So I went and picked up a heavy duty 15in breaker bar and tried again. With the bike in 1st gear and the rear break firmly held the back wheel continued to spin. I put a piece of PVC pipe through the rear rim...am no weakling and I got to the point I thought the bike would either come off the rear stand or I'd pull a muscle...that thing just would not turn. I tried some WD40 just hoping it would losen things up and still nothing. Im pulling the right way(counterclockwise) yet its not budging. Any ideas im getting frustrated and Im not about to go out and buy a compressor and air tools
