Thanks for all the input. I did finally manage to break it loose. I just had to try one more time before getting out the cutting tools. I started pondering the ergonomics of the situation. Earlier attempts with the long lever had actually lifted the bike off the paddock stand. So, just in case this helps anyone else...The trick was to stand on the opposite side of the bike facing backwards, place the socket adn breaker bar/extension so that the handle was pointed at the rear axle and lean over the bike, hole the seat with my left forearm and hand and lift with my right arm. I had excellent control, the wrench handle was not pointed at any body work (mine or the bikes) and I was able to stabilize the bike by leaning on it. I think this method would work for other models. Thanks again for the suggestions...
