Hey Frank,
The journey to my first wheel change was a long one. I actually wanted to buy the tools for it ever since my previous 991.2 GT3, intending to change the wheels myself because I don't quite trust the workshops anymore.
I bought the Hazet 6145-1ct torque wrench (300-800Nm). I inquired with Hazet and was told that I could also loosen the bolt up to 800 Nm. Unfortunately, that didn't work out, and I ended up buying a 950mm breaker bar. Sadly, all the pulling, pushing, and fiddling still did nothing, and I was almost fed up. Then, I purchased the Stahlwille MP300-1350 torque multiplier. Now, it finally works
The reaction arm is short. Initially, I laid it in a horizontal direction on a jack stand, but all the force ended up lifting the car by a good 10 cm. I got the tip to extend the reaction arm with a pipe that rests on the ground, and indeed, then nothing lifts anymore and the bolt loosens up quite easily.
I've not snapped any photos unfortunately as I was working alone. I also used a quick-grip to operate the brake without always having to ask my wife. My next purchase will definitely be a scissor lift (Twinbusch or Quickjack).
I post some photos of the material I used tomorrow.
