how do you break an axle nut?



Sounds like a commercial...

Since I'm 2/3 of the way on the front suspension already,
I decided to order Boge TG for the CGT that either my wife is
keeping, my BIL is buying, or I'm selling.  Either way it will
handle better with new inserts :)

I've got the wheels off, the the strut is held in place
only by the top nut, and the bottom axle nut (30mm assumed).

I don't recall, is there a special tool used for the top?
I recall an O2 sensor, or cutting a hole in a socket?

As far as the bottom axle nut, any chance I can break it loose
with the strut this loose, by just stepping on the brakes
while I go at it with a lever and breaker bar?

Thanks!
