But it could be that, I just replaced the rear axle nuts because the wrench I was using stripped the other ones.

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)
