I flip the bike over, hold the pedal with one hand pushing down and my cheater bar on the other, pushing down. Crank arms with about 150-160 degree angle between them. Kind of what "feels" best.
Yeah I have a 6-pt DeWalt set but I feel like my 12-pt USA Craftsman socket actually grips better.. go figure. I'll try the 6-pt again. Do you mean your left hand on the non-drive pedal and then right hand on the ratchet?
