This is on the drive side

You can use a pipe for the cheater if necessary.

This method doesn't care if you go the wrong way to start, it still cracks loose then you reverse direction and spin it off.

I have never failed, hurt any tools, parts, frames or myself with this.

It works best if the BB is well supported.
