That's actually a good tip, thanks. I just had my sprocket off for the seal. Not thinking, I removed the rear wheel, first which was getting a new tire. Made breaking that sprocket nut loose a whole lot toughter.
Worst part was getting the rear axle back by myself, that took some serious swearing and about 30 minutes. No one is ever around when you need help.
I did borrow a 36 mm socket this time and actually torqued that thing back in place. Last time, all I had was a large adjustable wrench, which actually worked fine. I'm pretty good at guessing 100 ft-lbs. (actually just under that)
