Engine Sprocket Nut - 93.7 ft-lbs

After two hours of trying to break that loose (tried full body weight on the rear brake, wedging a bar between the rear wheel and swing arm, tying the rear brake down and getting the longest bar I could find, putting the bike in gear, putting the bike in neutral, bracing the breaker bar on a board to keep it from falling off), I gave up, spent the $60, and had it off within 10 seconds.

Yes, I bought a tool for one single nut that I'll only undo about once a year but saves me a trip to the shop.
