Front Sprocket Lock Nut

[GerS]

Hi,

     A question for T7 owners that may have changed the front sprocket. Tried unsuccessfully to loosen the front sprocket nut, I found there are 2 indents on the outside of the nut (I straightened both as I assumed they are to lock the nut). Tried with a large torque socket and have been unsuccessful to date. Tapped the socket while applying pressure and still no budge.

 

Just querying is there anything I may have missed in trying to loosen the nut or is is a case of more pressure/air gun.

 

Thanks

Back brake on full (helper is useful), and long torque wrench/bar should sort it, assuming there's nothing else physical holding it on.
