It's actually a 6mm wrench, and you would need a cheater bar to get the same leverage on that as with a pedal wrench, and you have limited leverage options since the wrench hits the chainstays. I'm not saying it's ever impossible, but it can definitely be more difficult than it would be with wrench flats.
