Learned that tip here, from someone. And it sure is a good one. Worked for me twice since.
Thank you, who ever you are.
I have used this trick several times with freewheels and fixed BB cups. I also find that an abrupt jerk often works better than steady torque, so I often do the double jerk maneuver -- quick tightening motion followed by a stronger loosening motion. Sometimes the ol' rubber mallet on the end of the wrench works, as well.
