Any steps or tricks I'm missing? Do I just stick the socket into the vice and spin the wheel until something breaks loose and if it's not what was intended, just start fixing things?
Are you turning the FW the correct direction (counter clockwise) to loosen? You'll need a chain whip to grab onto the cog teeth to keep the FW from spinning to do this.
