so a longer wrench is probably a good answer.


thanks so much for taking the time to answer my newb question.
Totally exactly what someone already said (lisafilter), as I tried to do the exact same thing when I first worked on a bike.

You're using a cone wrench. Get a longer wrench and make sure it's alot wider as well so you don't mangle your nuts (hahaha)
