If this is a QR wheel, unscrew the QR, put the tool on the freewheel, then replace the QR nut. Screw it down so that there's a little slop. THEN put the tool in the vise. Use the wheel as your cheater bar. When you get the theaded joint to move at all, loosen or take off the QR. The QR keeps the tool from slipping out of the splines on the freewheel. Make sure you leave a little slop initially, and that you remove the QR before fully removing the freewheel. Easy to snap the QR if you don't.
