Use a breaker bar, 200 - 300 ft lbs isn't that hard to undo with a good breaker bar and some leverage....and I'm only 160 lbs and I did it with ease.

What part of the axle stripped? Are you referring to that 30mm axle nut? If that's what you're referring to, I'm not understanding why using a HF tool would be responsible. Just needing to have some clarity here [emoji846]
