By hand I meant with his fingers! I do plan to use a wrench or won't this work?

if you are feeling strong.. Have you ever had the wheel off?

I use a socket and a foot long breaker bar.

If you've never had it off loosen the nut before you put it on a paddock stand, chances are its done up FT so having the wheel on the deck will help.

Just on my way to get a torque wrench, rated past 120nm so it should be able to undo it if its big enough? I don't really know but I need it all sorted today as I need the bike tomorrow morning :s

Dont use a torque wrench to undo bolts, get yourself a breaker bar.

On my way to the ironmongery so will sort that out too

Aye, you cannot undo things with torque wrenches..they get broken

Got a breaker bar too then specifically "at least a foot long"
Edit to add: it's 18"

Update: breaker bar got the wheel off quite easily, just having lunch then onto the tyre place James recommended already phoned to check they have it in stock

Good stuff, they're an essential tool imo.
